Rippled Jessica...

Happy Monday,

Sorry todays post is late for some reason it didn't go live! As I was in Norfolk yesterday running a workshop for a lovely group of ladies and a gent I missed that this had not posted!

Todays card uses the rippled striplet as a background the brilliant thing about this die is that it can stack down a piece of card to make a background where all the edges line up.  I will be demoing g this technique on Hochanda soon.

Once I had made the background in duck egg blue foundation card I then cut the centre out using the outline die from the jessica frames and tags die.  I then added 2 of the stitched flags over the 'hole' and then added back the cut piece on top.  I framed this by cutting the detail die in the jessica in french navy and added this around the cut piece.


I made up 3 of the chrysanthemum flowers in coconut white with duck egg centres and arranged these around the edge on a set of the whisky fronds die cuts in cobalt.

A classic card but I love the colours!

Enjoy...

    Gorgeous card John. I really must get these flowers. Didn't think I needed them until we used them at the workshop. Changed my mind now. Thank you for sharing this. Looking forward to you demonstrating this on Hochanda

    Hi John I think I am going mad as I just commented on a card for a post which appeared on my phone . This was an Easter basket with greenery made from a flower die. Then this post appeared which has today's date on it and the one I wrote on has disappeared. Strange or spooky? Have I seen tomorrow's early?? Anyway back to this card and the super striplet background really makes the card. Love from Jackie xx

    Hello John,
    A lovely card and the fact that it was late passed me by completely!! Careful Brenda and Patricia!!
    Love your colours and I'm afraid I've fallen for those flowers too and the foliage! From Fife to Norfolk in a week with Tv Shows in the middle is what I call busy John!
    Take care.
    Love and many thanks, Myra

    Disappointed that I could not watch your shows on hochanda. Seems something happened to the videos and they would not play except about 18 minutes of the first show.

    The duck egg is lovely (I'm biased 🐥) and looks great with the navy and white.
