Favourite Tree...

Happy Wednesday,

I am sharing today my favourite card made with the triangle media plate and my Christmas clear stamps.  I love the colours and design of the centre piece but I have to admit that the card itself especially the mats and layers are what make this card.

I started by inking the media plate with ultramarine, emerald and verbena izink dye based inks.  I then  used the small dots and snowflakes stamp to remove ink form the plate and stamped it over the card.  I then stamped the media plate onto the card.

Next I used the same stamp and added the same three shades onto the media plate and stamped this.  Finally I added the larger snowflake in raspberry izink this time directly onto the card.

I made up the card using the Press cut notched corner squares ( these really are a new favourite) I simply love the clean classic and almost art nouveau look of these when paired with simple squares.


Enjoy...

    Morning John, truly amazing is all I can say, no I will also add, fabulous, gorgeous, stunning, oh I could go on all day but I have to get ready for my craft group this morning. Oh and the notched dies really are nice, looks like something else I might have to purchase.

    This looks great, John. I have some scissors that cut this inverted corner - I must get them out.

    Hello John,
    Totally agree , I thought Art Deco as soon as I saw it! These are lovely Dies and as you say so improved by the addition of a simple square!
    The whole card is beautiful! Thank you so much for all your help and inspiration!
    Love Myra xx
