Today is the last day of the Creative Expressions takeover weekend over on Hochanda ( sky 663, Freeview 85 or online at www.hochanda.com) I have 2 shows today continuing the Configurations dies offer shows, Im on at 10am and 1pm.
I thought I really should share a card / demo from this weekends shows today so I chose one of my favourites.
I know this colour combination is one that divides however I love the effect of the rich Teal, Black and White together.
I stared by cutting a piece of teal foundations card top 5" x 7" and I then cut the edger die from the labyrinth diagonal die across the bottom. I then cut the lattice form the die across the piece a little further up. I added cosmic white 3D Pearl Accents to all the junctions on the lattice.
I then added a piece of black behind this cut using the outline die that comes in the set. I added the whole piece to a 5" x 7" piece of coconut white card.
For the main element I simply cut the Daisy Cluster die in black adding white daisies behind using the die that comes in the set. I simply arranged these together to make the wreath and added a pearl embellishment and bow to the centre to finish.
I will be showing lost of techniques on using smaller dies in todays shows especially how we can build whole cards from small dies. Join me at 10am!
Enjoy...

ReplyDeleteLovely card and I think these colours look fantastic together. Not everyone loves reds,pinks and purples - me I love monochromatic or tone on tone!!

Morning John, a beautiful card I managed to catch one of your shows yesterday we only get wifi at the pool so it is difficult but it was with Dave it is the first I've seen him on Hochanda but he looked right at home as always.

Morning John, oh how wonderful this card is, and what a fabulous time I have had watching the Hochanda shows, I am going to be glued to the PC again today, looking forward to all of them again. I know you must all be exhausted but we love these types of programmes because you get to see so many more projects.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
I love this colour combination! Especially great for male cards (the flowers could be substituted for something different) The shows have been brilliant and very inspiring

Gorgeous card John in one of my favourite colours. Brill shows yesterday, saw some and recorded them all, as I'll be doing today. Have a safe journey home later today. Xx
ReplyDeleteHi John, a gorgeous card, have loved the shows so far, so will enjoy the rest today. Hope they go as well as yesterday. Bx
ReplyDeleteGood Morning John you really did such a brilliant job of this one on Hochanda and your right I love the colours to. hugs Shirleyxxxxx
ReplyDeleteI like the style of this card, though for me the button on the bow seems to make it too dominant for the rest of the card. However take the bow away and its another wow in my opinion John. Sorry but I have to tell as I see John lol.

Hi John. I saw you make this one on TV yesterday. Such a nice design as I like cards to be either random or a-symmetrical and I still love the teal card. Back to the TV as I don't want to miss anything.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
Morning John, really enjoyed yesterday watching you all on the television but was not able to watch all the shows. You always give so many helpful hints and tips. Love the card today but would choose a different colour I think.

Lovely card John. Not had chance to watch your shows today yet but will watch later. Did try to watch one on the iPad on rewind but part way through it froze and couldn't get it to start again. What I did see was very helpful. Thank you. Will try again later.
