When I was in Washington at the weekend a lady ( sorry I'm no good with names) Showed me a card she had made with the Spellbinders Ironwork elements die set and we got into a discussion of how nice this die was! I mentioned how great it looks in mirror card so as soon as I got home i had to make this card to show how well it works.
I stared by cutting the frame in the set twice in gold mirror card. I rotated these and slipped the edges under each other as shown to make a square. Next I added a panel in the white pearl card using one of the other dies in the set and topped this with a layer of gold and finally white ( all die cuts from the ironworks die set) I added some stick on pearls to to highlight the detail.
The background is made with the spellbinders butterfly die cut and mounted in white pearl card.
A few more layers of the mirror and pearl cards to finish a small card (for me anyway!)
Enjoy...
Morning John, what a wonderful elegant card to wake up to this morning, love it, must see if I have that one.

Hi John, A really great card today. It is so nice seeing older dies being used. These dies are expensive and I think we are all guilty of using just the current new ones. I am definitely going to have a look through my stash of dies and re-visit them. Thank you for the prompt. Love Rosemarie X
ReplyDeleteI have this die set but it didn't cut well in my Wizard - never tried it in my Calibur! I must get it out. This is a a lovely card, John.

Hi John. I also have this die from way, way back and I love it because the larger element is great for holding all sorts of different shapes with the sentiments on. Great to see what you have done with it.

Hello John,
ReplyDeleteI really love today's card! As soon as I looked at it I was reminded of a keyhole and escutcheon! I know - I'm a bit daft! It's beautiful! I don't have the Die set but agree with everyone that we need to use the older ones more! Thanks John!

Smashing card John Neat little die set
ReplyDeleteEh up John
ReplyDeleteA simple but appealing card using the Metal Tags and Accents which I too have sitting in my die stash with minimal use.
Must fish it out as I'd forgotten how lovely it is.
