Happy Thursday!Well its more newness today so I've called it new newness! Today I have used 2 new spellbinders sets, firstly Spellbinders Elegant Ovals secondly the new expandable pattern die spellbinders French Harmony.
I started by die cutting and embossing the drench harmony before mounting this over a sheet of navy card. I cut a frame using 2 basic square dies after which i used a third between these sizes and added it before embossing. This has given a lovely square impression in the middle of the frame and added interest.
I mounted this square, with foam tape, over the background and cut the navy card to give a nice wide border.
Next I mounted this, again with foam tape, over a wider piece of white card and wrapped a strip of white and blue ribbon around. The next step was to foam mount the whole thing onto a hand cut card in the same navy colour.
Finally the sentiment was made using the new Spellbinders Elegant Ovals set I cut the smallest in white and the next size in navy. I cut a piece of white card the same as the blue oval and mounted this behind. I inked the white centre piece in the die and added the for you sentiment from Creative Expressions in a navy ink before foam mounting the lot onto the ribbon
Hopefully a nice French Elegant card.
Enjoy...
What a lovely, classy looking card. Great colours-shows off the die cutting really well.

Hola John
ReplyDeleteI had a little bet with myself that you would've gone for the French (or drench lol!) Harmony so I've won a bag of cheese snax from myself!
Very elegant in the navy and the embossed frame outline is very Sue Wilson. I've just bought some matting dies to achieve the same.
Gorgeous ribbon too matey.
Have a great day.

Definitely elegant John - it's great to have new dies to play with. I've not opened my new 'Sue' dies yet, and it's frustrating me no end! With a bit of luck, I'll have them out of the packet this afternoon.
