Well it is a card however the difference this week is the colour choice not one I would normally use but I have to admit that I like it!
I stared by cutting the filigree section from Rococo striplet in honeydew foundation card I just cut the detail into the card and didn't use the outline. Next I cut 2 of the dies form the double pierced backgrounds one in bright white and one in primrose I cut these together into 3 sections making a band in the middle the seam width as one of the panels on the striplet die. I stuck these back together and cut the outline die form one piece being careful to make sure that the centre panel fitted the striplet.
Next i added the other piece, the primrose and white panel, behind the cut striplet and added a resin rose in a matching yellow on the centre of each piece of the striplet design as shown.
I matted this on primrose foundation card and added a few layers of the honeydew, primrose and white for definition. Finally I added seam binding bows in matching yellow and green at the edge with an 8mm pearl in the centre to hide the knot and join.
a very different colour combination for me but hopefully it may make us all think about using colours that are outside our comfort zone!
Enjoy...
Morning John, loving today's card, it's a summery feel to Saturday xx

Morning John, well I am with you on this one, it is not a set of colours I would have put together but the more I see it the more I like it and what I do like is the panels and the way you have fitted these with the striplet die, another one to add to my growing pile of things to try. I purchased some of the honeydew foundation card recently and although I have so far only used it once I really like how the colour transforms a card, wonderful, so crafters if you get a chance to purchase some of it I would highly recommend it.

Hi John,
ReplyDeleteYes a very pretty card in an unusual colour way, Roccoco die is delicate and with the bows for adornment what more does it need.
Love and crafty hugs

Great concept and in colours Iwouldn't usually choose either So I'm not sure I think it's another of those projects I'd like to see in the "flesh" Fab idea though I'm already thinking what colours I could do it in
ReplyDeleteMorning John, I really like this card !! It is quite 'abstract' to me, but I love the combination of colours you have used, and you have 'tied' them all in, beautifully.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx

ReplyDeleteAfternoon John.
ReplyDeleteI've left it a bit longer to comment today just so I can see what happens after repeated visits, and yep, it worked... it's really grown on me since 6am, like almost everyone else it was kinda hmmm dunno, not sure, but it's a definite "yes" from me xx ☺
Love the card but not really my choice of colours I would like to see it done in other colours but it is definitely out of the comfort zone.
ReplyDeleteYou're so clever John. Just love how yo've made this card.
ReplyDeleteLove Val x
Hi John. I love the design of today's card but am not too sure about the colours (perhaps it is because of the way they come across on the laptop screen)
