Another sample card from my shows last week on Hochanda this time a classic petticoat card made using the Antlia Gemini die.
I stared by cutting panel with the outline die from the Olivia frame and tags die. next I cut the detail die into another panel again in white. next I embossed piece of wisteria and lilac card with the detail die. I cut the centre from the lilac and added this on top of the wisteria embossed piece before fitting it back into the white die cut. This gives the look of a paper pieced panel which is a lot quicker than paper piecing.
For the petticoat section i cut a strip of coconut white foundation card using the detail and one of theses form the Antlia Gemini die. I backed this with wisteria using the cutting edge to match the edge of the white. I repeated this and backed the second with lilac card. I then mounted these above each other and added the olive panel at the top.
I made up the card as shown using layers of the three colours and added a lilac bow form satin ribbon from my stash.
Enjoy...
Morning John, I love this card the dies the colours everything I just think it is gorgeous.

Hi John.
ReplyDeleteThank you this is a lovely card, so pretty.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Love everything about this card John, so pretty.Joycex
ReplyDeleteMorning John, oh I do like this one, I know it is similar to one you had on here last week or so but they are all different in some way or another and they do give everyone inspiration. It really does look like a lace petticoat hanging down and the centre is gorgeous, I love putting the different colours into the shapes (can't think of the word I am looking for for this technique - must be my age!!!)
ReplyDeleteOh I liked your you tube video on the glitter kiss, want to see lots more of these please. xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Beautiful - that's the only word for this card!

ReplyDeleteI hope the fire wasn't too close to home last night and didn't affect your power supply.
Have a great day.

ReplyDeleteThis is another WOW card for me! The colours are fabulous!
On my blog today I've used the 'petticoat' design, the large pearl dazzler and lilac and wisteria card!! In all honesty, I have to say your card is by far the nicer one

Good morning John,
ReplyDeleteLove today's absolutely STUNNING card it's exquisite!
I was amazed, how embossing and placing can give the effect of Paper Piecing when you showed us and it works beautifully.

You said a while back that 'Life is too short to paper pierce' . I find it therapeutic but it is time consuming and always bits go missing so I'll have a go this way.
ReplyDeleteLove the colour choice.
