In keeping with the theme of using a die form the previous day i seem to be doing this week todays card again uses one of the dies form yesterdays project. This is a planned demo so you may have to wait to find out how the background was made but theres nothing stoping you form trying!
I cut the background and added white and black panels at different depths ( using additional layers of foam tape).
I made a frame using the double pierced rectangles set a and mounted black, red and white to make the larger card.
I mounted these over a spray of ivy leaves made using the Sue Wilson ivy die from the finishing touches collection in brunswick green foundation card.
A very Japanese card?
Enjoy...
Beautiful card John. I love red, black and white together as it's so dramatic. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful card John. This shows how the same die as yesterday can give a totalling different look. I think the colours used also help it to give the Japanese look. Marion S x

Good Morning John hope the move is going smoothly, by the way I eventually tracked down that Butterfly sentiment it was on one of the Sentiment sheets. Yes I so agree this one is definitely very Japanese influenced, love it. hugs Shirleyxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteStunning card John yes makes me think of Japan love the background and the flower is beautiful thank you

Hi John. Yet another idea for using this die. It does remind me of Japanese screens even though I would usually use gloss black, red and gold to create a Japanese effect.

ReplyDeleteSo, did you have an attack of The Vapors? ............. 80s music fans may figure that one lol!
A definite touch of The Orient (and not Leyton lol!) and I'm not being saki!
You know I have a yen for florals ........ok, no more Japanese references lol!
Great card and lovely poppies.
