This is for my wonderful friend Sue's birthday. She always makes my birthday special and she has generously shared dies with me on many an occasion. I wanted her card to be very special.
I started by cutting a rounded edge square and then die cutting the Spellbinder corners into each side of it. I used dimensionals to attach the blue pearl paper layer and then attached that to my embossed (Embossalicious) layer. I didn't have a large enough piece of the ivory pearl card stock to create a card base, so I cut one side of a 6 inch ivory panel 3/4 of an inch longer, scored a fold and glued that to the back of this creating the card base.(I did use another piece to cover that) I picked up this set of Spellbinder flowers (there are 3 sizes) at the convention for $5 and I cut 4 of each flower. I used the bone folder to form the petals and a stylus to give them more dimension. I used a half pearl and my favorite Star Dust Stickles in the center of each flower.
It took SEVERAL days to try and figure out what I wanted to make and then a day and a half to actually make the card. I had a lot of fun making it and blue is Sue's favorite color so naturally that had to be the accent.
Thank you SO much for stopping by to take a look! It is always appreciated.

Oh, Peggy! I haven't been in the gallery this week much, but WOW! I was just in the Favorites of the Week thread and saw the link! This card is amazing! I love ALL your cards, but you continue to amaze with your creativity and use of dies! Oh, yes, your sweet friend Sue will LOVE this one! It's absolutely breathtaking! Hugs, sweet friend! (And I understand about how long it can take to decide and then to "build" a card like this one, at least a little! But it was worth it!)

I LOVE this card! I have tried to use that same triangle die and I cannot get it to cut out all the detail. Could you please share any tips you might have on how to get a nice cut with that die?
