One from the vaults today from the show samples I made for the last pick of the day shows upon Create and Craft earlier this year. As I am sure you know I sign off my blog posts with the word Enjoy and I was over the moon when sue designed an Enjoy die! This is the first one I cut form the Expressions range and made this card with the resultant piece!
To make the card I die cut the oval from the Austrian collection salzburg die in periwinkle blue and then cut a smaller aperture using the oval from the Vienna die in coconut white. I mounted these above each other and cut the white piece with a slightly larger border.
next I cut 4 of the ornamental corners (the set contains 2 dies which are designed as opposites of each other) in cobalt card and mounted them as a frame around the blue card. I then simply added the Enjoy die cut in white and then added a few layers of the periwinkle, cobalt and coconut white card to make this 5x7" card.
To pick out the detail on the corner pieces I added some dots of cosmic pearl PVA and finished. Hopefully a card you can send for any occasion and one that's worth having for those moments when we need to send one quickly!

Good Morning John,
ReplyDeleteI love this corner die, and I love the colours you have used. I have actually got 4 corners cut out ready to 'finish' off so will do the effect you are showing here. (See I did remember what you said about thinking where you cut your corners out for other cards and use the waste for another card lol) proves I was listening at your demo that day lol.
Have a great day

ReplyDeleteLove these colours and that spray of camels really finish it off! I've been to Sue's blog and thought I must get the Peonies and now I'm thinking I must get the Camelias! I really can't justify getting both! Perhaps we're winners in the work Lottery syndicate!

Hi John. I am playing catch up so have to say that I loved Saturday's card. the Canadian background is great isn't it. I do wish I coud get to watch Sue at Creative Expressions but will have to wait until Ally Pally in September instead. Sunday's card is another beauty and today's Enjoy is a wonderful any occasion card. I love the gorgeous Ornamental Corners, and also the spray of CAMELS,( I love predictive text) : )) Take care x
ReplyDeleteEh up John
ReplyDeleteSorry I'm late but a busier day than expected.
Well, with inviting folk to a dieting day and now the spray of camels (should be a slobber of camels having seen them in action) there's never a dull moment lol !!!
Gorgeous shades of blue and your signature "Enjoy" all make for a fab card.
Sweet dreams.
