Today's card uses the same die as yesterday and thanx to my wonderful Blog family I know the name this die ( used as the centre strip) its called Arched Diamond from the Art Deco collection from Spellbinders
Today I used this, cut in silver, across the front of a panel of embossed lines in blue. To make the background I simply used my score board and scored at every 1/4 inch across the piece of french navy card. I then added, with foam tape of course, the silver diamond across the front and added a couple of layers of the silver and blue.
Next I made the centre panel using the Twisted metal tags and accents ( this is the die I said was called iron works earlier this week I forgot this is what I call this die in my head!) I cut this in sliver and blue and cut the centre panels form the section that falls away from the twisted tag making a frame. I rotated each die cut in alternate colours and added foam tape between each layer.
I then used the feathers die cut in white and silver and arranged these beneath the cameo embellishment shaping the feathers along the spines that emboss on the die cuts.
Enjoy...
Lovely card John You are costing me a fortune Had to buy this die yesterday. Have a good day

Hi John

Eh up John
ReplyDeleteOh it was going so well, love the Arched Diamond, the scored background, the colour (although I'm getting white, not silver) then I saw them....... the feathers! Noooo, I'd pluck my own out if I could lol!
Perhaps a nice floral arrangement for me next time lol!

Morning John, beautiful creation today, I am liking those feathers more and more, wouldn't they look lovely snipped into strips down each side - but that would be a labour of love wouldn't it.
ReplyDeleteOff to Martine's monthly workshop tomorrow - only a month to go.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning John,
ReplyDeleteLove today's card .... the feathers!! not so sure, it's ingenious though I have to admit that.
I think I would have done more conventional style flowers. What you have done certainly makes you think about using Dies in a different way.
John, I have been through my "old" Dies and having fun using them. Thank you for the inspiration.
Have a wonderful day

Hi John, great card, I love the scored background, simple but classy. Not altogether sure about the feathers. But it would as you say make a great man's card. Love Rosemarie X
ReplyDeleteHi John. I'm in love with this card. Just my sort of thing. I haven't got this die but I'm sure I could substitute it.

Gorgeous John - I love it. As you say, a great card for a man. xxx
ReplyDeleteI did wonder how Mrs Duck would react to the feathers!
ReplyDeleteA great card, John.

A very striking card the Navy and White (sorry no silver in sight on my computer). The feathers would make an alternative to flowers on a mans card but for myself; one of your pretty flower arrangements would have been better.

Hi John
ReplyDeleteWow, this is a lovely card, just my colours.
Love what you have done with the feathers. I have always loved the look of feather dies but have held off buying any as I was unsure how I would use them on a card, so thank you for the inspiration, might get some now!
Love this card John and the feathers brill !!!!! Love June horrocks xxxx
ReplyDeleteHi John
ReplyDeleteLove the design and colour tones, I also could only see white and blue card but on a much closer inspection spotted some silver LOL
Ideal for a male card and female too if they don't have an aversion of feathers hehe... I don't but a friend of mine would be hysterical

I like it! It would definitely have to depend on the male in my world to receive this They don't like sporty cards but this may be a tad too feminine for them Fantastic card for ladies though
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card John and stunning in blue, silver and white.
ReplyDeleteBit late posting today as packing for my holiday tomorrow.
I probably won't be able to comment while I am away but hopefully will pop in each day to see your post.

Hi John,Love the card design and colours,but think for me I would have used conventional flowers.But having said that I think the card looks very stylish.Stay happy and healthy,Lots of Love Barbara D xxx
ReplyDeleteHi John. Lovely card today, however, for me, the spray is a little too chunky, I would prefer something a little more delicate.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
An elegant card design. The navy, white, and silver colors are so classic. I, unlike Mrs. Duck, really like the feathers and the way you circled them around the cameo embellishment. You gave your feathers "rhythm".
ReplyDeleteHi John,
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful. Love the colours, too.
Hugs, Rose
A beautiful card John. Always like those colours but as mentioned the other day I don't like feathers so would use flowers instead. Have a good weekend. Take carexx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card today John xx lots of love and huggs to you xx
