There may be some quick posts over the next couple of weeks as I am in the process of moving! The Craft cave is, of course, being moved and laid out first however with the usual WiFI issues involved in moving I have scheduled a lot of the posts over the next couple of weeks Ill pop in whenever I can and your emails go straight to my phone, as well as all comments as soon as they are received, I will still be able to answer questions and read all the wonderful comments my blog family leave me everyday!
I have to admit its a different colour scheme for me but I do feel we have to push ourselves sometimes! I stared buy cutting a series of frames using the double pierced circles by Sue Wilson for Creative Expressions. I then used the waste circles from the centre to make the other panels. I cut the Gillian outline die in one of the whole circles. Next I cut the detail Gillian die form a primrose circle I cut the centre from the Gillian die in a white circle and finished with the last, smallest, yellow circle.I foam mounted each of these panels above each other then added the frames.
I added this to a panel embossed with the sea garden embossing folder embossed whilst in the largest double pierced square die. Whilst in the die I shaded the embossed portion using fresh grass colour cloud blending ink. A set of pearl corners and a few layers of white and primrose finishes the base card.
I cut the requisite poppies in primrose foundation card, shaped them with a ball tool and shaded the flowers with more of the colour cloud. I added centre cut and shaped in primrose and added a pearl in the centre.
I arranged the flowers around the frame and a smaller set around the Gillian die cur using the olive branch die cut in pastel green foundation card.
A few stick on pearls (5mm) and finished.
Enjoy...

ReplyDeleteA really pretty card, John. I wonder how much you will actually clear out of the Craft Cave before putting it all back in its new home!? Good luck with it all.

Hi John, Hope all is going well with the move. Having done it several times I know what it is Like, the last was 12 months ago and I hope it was for the last time. Your cards as usual are just amazing. I haven't been using computer for a while as it has to be wiped due to the recent fraud I told you about,hopefully all will be well again soon. For now take care,and good luck with your move. Love Barbara D xxxxx
ReplyDeleteHi John, Just love this, the colours go together so well.
ReplyDeleteMust invest in the circle dies, use the square and rectangle all the time. Good luck with the move.
Lovely card have just bought the circle dies am sure they will be used a lot. Good luck with your move.
ReplyDeleteWow John what a bright and beautiful card today.
ReplyDeleteLove the summery colour and the die you have used in the middle.
This will brighten anyones day.
And as usual your finishing touches with the flowers finish it beautifully.
Oh John, would you prefer a " thinking of you" card to a " new home" card!! I hate moving house although it does give you a chance to have a real clear out!
ReplyDeleteToday's card is lovely and such fresh colours too. Still trying to decide between the pierced circles or ovals! Love Myra
This colour scheme may be rather different for you but it is quite gorgeous. I like he deisign.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your move. It is bad enough to moving a normal houseful but I don't envy you moving your 'cave' as well.

ReplyDeleteYour card today looks so fresh and clean looking. Love the color combination you elected to use on it. Your design is great, too. Wishing you an easy move to your new location.
ReplyDeleteLovely card but I'm not sure about the colour combo It'd be a sad old world if we all loved the same thing
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move

The craft cave would take a whole lorry to move on its own!
