Well I'm sure you all know by now my love of the noble dies I was so happy that Sue designed a new shape for the noble range this ornate shape which comes in three different styles which are perfect for layering!
I stared with the ornate pierced die and using the largest die in the set I made a card black. By using the die i got the advantage of the beautiful shape, embossing and piercing all the way around my my card blank. I then added the filigree section and die cut this int the front of the card only.
To make the glittered lilac layer I die cut a piece of lilac foundation card wit the largest and the centre shaped die form the set. I also added a sheet of double sided adhesive to the piece before cutting. I layered the largest piece behind the filigree and added a sprinkling of Diamond Sprinkles to the adhesive hat shows through the filigree section. I then die cut the centre filigree section from the Lavish accented noble die set using the matching outline die. I added this to the smaller piece of the lilac with the adhesive and again added diamond sprinkles to the visible adhesive. I hen cut the smallest die in this set and foam mounted all the pieces together.
To make the topper I cut 2 of the new maidenhair fern dies in the lilac and added dusty concord distress ink to colour the edges. I then cut one of the new majestic butterflies in lilac and 2 in coconut white then cut into one of the white butterflies as these are designed to be cut down to make a smaller butterfly. I then altered them up with the smallest on the top. Finally i layered these onto the fern die cut and placed the whole topper on the card. To decorate I added pearl PVA riots around the frame and on the points of the butterflies.This is a die cut heavy card however the colours really compliment making it look less complicated than it is. I know that not everyone will use as many layers as I have here however there are ideas that I hope that you can take some ideas form this one!

ReplyDeleteHi John a very pretty card, I do love the noble dies and these new shaped ones are stunning, I think I can remember how you cut the folded card with a noble die from a CE programme! very clever. Will be pinning this one. Crafty hugs to all, Linda.
ReplyDeleteHi John,
ReplyDeleteExquisite!! I wouldn't mind finding out how you cut the card shape with the noble dies? When I cut a shaped card I always get marks on the back of the card!

Hi aliens
DeleteEmail John and ask him. He showed me at Ally Pally how to make cards out of dies. I've also emailed and asked him about other things as well.
Eh up John
ReplyDeleteGosh. What a layer fest. Perhaps a soupçon too much pearlage on the butterflies for me but still a very attractive card matey.
Enjoy your workshop.

Lovely card, and I am glad the new Noble dies work as card blanks too. A tad too many butterfly and leaf layers for me, but still very pretty

ReplyDeleteLove the idea here John but I would use less layers and pearl dots. The colour is beautiful and the butterfly die is stunning. Pat x
ReplyDeleteHi John
ReplyDeleteThis Noble shape is fantastic. I love the way you've showed how every layer looks. Of course we couldn't send this card through the post as it would be to heavy. Love how each layer looks though.

Superb designing, and wonderful colours used.
Really beautiful butterfly as well.
A real treat for anybody that receives it.
