I thought I would share the original card today that I based last Sundays project on! This is also what I used for the lettering for yesterdays card, this time its a little brighter.
I simply cut the Art Deco alphabet die ( its comes in one piece making it so easy to set as there is no chance of losing a letter die) twice in a square of ruby foundation card. I backed this with black foundation card.
Next I cut the alphabet again in funky foam and again in bright white foundation card. I then mounted the LOVE U letters on the funky foam letters and then mounted these back into the appropriate letters own the background.
This means that when read the card reads LOVE U which I think is a pretty cool sentiment and works so well in this colour scheme.
A few layers of black, white and red and finished.
Enjoy...
Good morning John today's card is lovely xx

I bought both of the Art Deco alphabet dies at the NEC last Thursday and they are great so I might have a go at something similar this week.
ReplyDeleteI've loved the cards you've made with them and the colours are so good together. I love it.
Happy crafting.

ReplyDeleteHi John and crafters all,
ReplyDeleteLovely idea for this card. Cutting out in funky foam is a great idea for giving height to the letters. The colours are fantastic and very Valentine ish.

I really love this idea It works brilliantly The fact that the alphabet is in one piece is a bonus I'd rather waste a little bit of card than lose a die
ReplyDeleteI like this effect but would the effect be lost if the fall away pieces for the likes of B and D etc were put back in.... because my eye is drawn to the black spaces Then again I haven't seen it in real life
Saw this on the show and thought what an inventive design, wonderful John, xxx
ReplyDeleteMorning John, thank you for showing us three great ways to use the Alphabet Dies over the last couple of days. Great cards,
