Now to todays card, its back to Christmas I'm afraid after a short break on Monday lol!

Thank you all so much for your kind words/thoughts and concerns over the dentist, my appointment is on 7th October!!! Yes you did read that right they cannot fit me in till then but I can ring up each day to see if there is a cancellation! Amazing that this day & age you cannot get to see a GP or Dentist without a few weeks wait. Good job its not that bad lol!

On a brighter note, today's card...

I joined two sheets of Cobalt Blue card together to form an 8"X8" card then matted it up with some White Textured card. Using more of the Cobalt Blue card I embossed it with the Fretwork Embossing folder, cut to size and matted and layered this onto my card. With some Coconut White card I cut to size and applied two strips of double sided adhesive tape around the edge and covered this with Glamour Dust before matting it onto the Blue embossed card.

I die cut more of the Blue card with Sue Wilson Italian Collection Calabria, placing the center piece in the middle of the card and the frame I raised up with sticky pads over the top.

I stamped my sentiment with Chipped Sapphire onto White Textured Card and die cut with Large Standard Circles, I placed this in the center of the card as seen.

I did not have any plain Dark Blue Ribbon so I coloured a piece of White Seam Binding Ribbon with Chipped Sapphire, made a bow and attached it to my card. Adding a Large Fancy Pearl on the bow finished my card.
