Happy Wednesday,As you read this I will be setting off the the paper world, Creative World and Christmas world show in Frankfurt ( if you are reading this at 6am lol) during the show I will be taking pictures and posting on Instagram and Facebook all the things I see and will hopefully blog an extra post on Friday showing the Creative Expressions stand coming together!
Well I did do less drama with yesterdays card so I thought a more dramatic use of teal is due! This is a simple card and could be made in any colour and look so different!
I stared by cutting a square of Teal foundation card ( I think this is the last of the teal samples I have some new colour combinations ready for the new release of SW die range) I then cut the Lavish Swirls diagonal die into this in 2 panels using just the detail die. I foam mounted this in black and added a couple of layers of black and teal to make the design framed.
I then cut all the dies in the Gillian frames and tags set in teal and backed them in black repeating the process for the centre 2 dies.
To finish I added a messy bow in Black seam binding, a spray of black metallic linx and a few black pearls to highlight the design!
Enjoy...
Good morning John wow what striking colours I love it
ReplyDeleteAnd the design is gorgeous I have these die so
I will be having ago at this one.
Have a lovely day

Hi John.
ReplyDeleteThank you a great card.
Take care Kitty.
Hi John. Not sure about this one as the colour has come across on my screen a bit strange - it is not teal at all on the laptop. Also I think it could have done with being a bit smaller (too much blank space around the outside) Sorry, but you can't win them all.

Hi John,
ReplyDeleteDramatic for sure, but elegant and beautiful too.
Hugs, Rose
Not sure about this one John, maybe its just the colours are too dark for my taste, not really sure what it is but its not floating my boat - sorry but no point in pretending otherwise.
ReplyDeleteHi John really like the design of this card card, but I would change the colour combination as I find the Teal a bit dark for me
ReplyDeleteWendyx
Yes, this is a dramatic card design. Safe journey!
ReplyDeleteJohn I love the design and layout of this beautiful card but not too
ReplyDeletesure of the colour.
It is more than likely that it looks lovely as sometimes the camera can make things look darker.
Have a safe journey and have lots of fun too.
Hi John, I love dramatic cards and this one is no exception. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi John,
ReplyDeleteWhat a super card and your design is ace as usual.
Love the fab colours too.
Lots of crafty regards. Jenny L.
Must say I like the card John. However, I prefer the softer look Teal cad from yesterday. Enjoy your trip to Frankfurt.
