I will be demoing at Samuel Taylors in Brighouse Leeds today form 10am to 4pm so if you couldn't make it to the NEC don't worry I coming to you ( if you live in the north that is lol)
A very simple looking card today which is perfect for those moving house detailed yet deceptively simple honest!
I stared by cutting the scalloped lattice into a piece off icicle pearl foundation card and reinserted the die ( i will be demoing the technique on Hochanda the week after next) to extend the pattern. Next I cut a set of stitched frames, using the frame dies that come in the lattice set, in red, icicle and gloss black to frame the piece.Next I cut the Uppercase Art Deco Alphabet in black card twice to give me the 2 homes ( don't worry the waste piece can be seen on tomorrow card!)
I cut the sweet from the Sweet Baby die which comes with the baby Onsie die I simply cut of the baby leaving m,e with the delightful sweet! I mounted the letters onto a piece of icicle pearl card and matted it onto more of the red and gloss black. I added a strip of the silver metallic linx lightly pulled out ( 4mm). Next I added a large 8mm black pearl as the 'hanger' and 3mm black pearls on the corners of the 'sign'
Enjoy...

I love this John and wouldn't it look beautiful in a frame and make a beautiful house warming gift.
ReplyDeleteHi John
ReplyDeleteLovely cad today. Missed yesterday's cards. I especially like the second card where you've used the waste. I really must try and make an effort to plan what I cut out and where I put the dies.
Lovely card John. Thank you for sharing. Hope you have had a good day.
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever, clever card I would never have thought to do this with the die from the Onesie set! It works so well with the Art Deco alphabet
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great day
Lovely card John, will be fantastic for my niece who will hopefully be moving into her first house and is not fond of flowery cards. You will be pleased to know I got my Pearl Lustre!! haha Best wishes WakeyL
