I really hope that the cold hasn't got to you Its very cold here but we still have little snow! Im demonstrating at Grafton Crafts to morrow so I hope its clear there or at least clears!
I thought I would share a card today made using one of the background dies this time the smaller Gerbera Square. I love this die especially as I included 2 outline dies one plain and one stitched which makes framing your design so easy!
Todays card shows exactly what I intended with this die a frame that would be perfect for showing off your backgrounds.
I started by wanting to frame the centre panel which is an oddment form a demo of the media plates, I never like to throw anything away so I kept this for use one day. I cut the Gerbera square into a piece of white card and foam mounted this over the background. I then added a series of frames made using Maya Blue and Rosa pink lustre print card and the Press Cut stitch Dot squares.
Enjoy...
Morning John, a very pretty card x

Morning John, another masterpiece, love the colours you have used and the frame and background blend in wonderfully with your dies.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful time tomorrow and hope that the weather continues to be kind to you. Still got my fingers crossed here for Sunday, we are having sleet today so I am hoping that it will melt some of the snow, been snowed in since Sunday afternoon.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Good morning John,
ReplyDeleteI love this little frame. It's so pretty and your colours are gorgeous!
I hope you win your battle with the weather.
The snow has taken over up here in the frozen north!
I made Christmas cards yesterday and haven't decided which cards I'm making yet today.
Lately I just 'play' and see what I come up with. I love it!
Hope you have a good day! xx
Lovely card, John?

That frame is lovely I expect it looks just as dramatic (different colour background) cut in black Love today’s card too Like you say really shows off the background
ReplyDeleteHi John, such a pretty card, the frame colours are perfect with your background piece. The weather is awful,with the wind blowing and the snow turning to ice. Hope you have a good day and stay safe everyone. Bx

ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty John. You're lucky to have so little snow. I've managed to dig my way off the drive this morning and the courier came to deliver my dragonflies die, so I'm having a good day! Hope you're able to travel safely tomorrow. xxx
ReplyDeleteHi John. What a lovely cheerful card today. Unfortunately it has just started snowing again here and we are supposed to get storm Emma here later on this afternoon.

Beautifully designed card John, lovely colours and interesting center stamping, Kate x x
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card John and a brilliant idea. Thank you. Love all these dies. Made some acetate backgrounds last night with the Izink Pigment inks. Used the blue and silver this time. Would have liked to add a bit of green but non left last week. Looked after granddaughter for a while today as my son had to go out. She has a chesty cough and has been wheezing. She made a card for her friend’s birthday. It’s good to spend some time with her. Been snowing all day here. Take carexxx
ReplyDeleteI love this John. Think I'm going to have to buy this square gerbera die. The background you've used is fabulous.

Very nice, John. Love your color choice.I am looking forward to receiving my Gerbera Daisy die sets. You made them look like they would be so much fun. I love the leaves and daisies are such friendly flowers.
