Sentiment die of your choice.

I started by cutting the borders. First, just the edge on white card stock. Then with the insert on black and white card. I then trimmed the card down so the borders fitted across and then"squared" it off. I made sure there was a small border for matting and layering, I like to use Perfect Layers tools to help get an even border. (hope that makes sense?)

I layered these together then matted on to black and then white card. This essentially makes a square topper. Lay this centrally on to a large black mat. I was using an 8x8 card blank, so my mat was 1/4 inch smaller.

Next cut labels 25 majestic elements in black card. I used foam to raise this element for more interest. 

Cut an oval that fits your chosen sentiment. Layer this and use foam to mount it to the card.

 

Next I made up the flowers. I used a die D-lite, (my favourite), but choose whatever you like. This time I cut the largest two in white and the smallest in black. 

For the centres, I combined two mini punches and finished it off with a black cosmic Shimmer PVA glue "pearl". Of course you can use what you have. 

Instead of leaves, I decided to use some flourishes for a different look.

Stand back and admire. 

Try it with different colour combo classics. I was thinking chocolate and pink, or maybe navy and cream. 

p.s Sorry about the photo, was not in the best place to take it, so it looks a bit on the yellow side.

Happy Crafting!
