Today I thought i should soft pedal my use of the new SW dies I bought (especially as I have a large project tomorrow using the Californian background) so todays card is made using a Tonic circle die (an eBay bargain a few weeks ago)
I foam mounted a circle of green card, using the matching simple circle die included with then fancy cut one. then simple treated each panel differently. The right hand panel was run through an embossing folder loaded with green distress ink. The left panel has a panel of green card from which I cut out the half circle so that it showed the full circle (I know but this description makes sense in my head)
Enjoy...
Lovely card John letter pressing panel is very striking. Thank you all, lifting out of the blues even though its pouring hard. Maggie x
ReplyDeleteHi John. I love the way you´ve embossed the right hand panel. Love the tonic die you´ve used. I bought some of their dies a few weeks ago and on first sight I´m not impressed but maybe I should have a play and see if they look better.
ReplyDeleteI´m not doing a thing today (apart from dog walking) so I´m spending the whole day in my craft room. Heaven.
Glad you´re feeling a tad better Maggie.

ReplyDeleteHola John
ReplyDeleteYou have obviously used your big boy machine to get the A3 sheet through. I'm waiting for one to appear on eBay for a tenner hahaha! I've got a green card scheduled for tomorrow that is looking woefully inadequate next to this fantabulous creation. Oh maaaaaaaan, you're too darn good!

Hi John. Playing catch up after a hectic day yesterday. Love the card and how you've cut the circle instead of just sticking it on top of the card. Take care.
