Sunlit Daisies...

Happy Wednesday,

I'm running my regular monthly workshop at Breedon Priory today we are making 4 christmas cards today with a variety of techniques!  I thought today I would share another card made using the new stamps to die for designed to match the Sue Wilson new release of dies.

This card uses the new Sunlit daisies stamp which matches the stunning Mauritius die set form the indian ocean collection.  I stamped the image in watering can archival ink and as with yesterdays card coloured it using my alcohol markers.  I then cut this out using the outline die.  I also cut 2 more in taupe and chestnuts foundation card.  I also used the centre die to make the piece into a frame.  I stamped the sentiment and cut this with an oval die form a previous set.

For the main card I cut the new lattice die in chestnut and added a frame of double pierced background rectangles.  A large bow and dazzler in a brass dazzler setting to finish.

I made up the card as shown with, as usual, lots of layers of white, taupe and chestnut!

Enjoy...

Blue Lattice...

Happy Monday,

One of my favourite cards using the Lattice Background die that I love so much!






















I cut the lattice section twice, once in periwinkle and once again in bright white foundation card.  I then offset these to make the argyle pattern and added a frame, using the stitched rectangles in the set, in the bright white.

Next I cut the gillian die in white and backed it with blue studding it with pearls.  I cut the lace edged leaves and added these before adding the requisite poppies.  For the poppies I cut each size die rice and edged them with Frosted Sky colour cloud blending ink with a mini smoothie.  I shed the petals and made up the flowers using different sized petals for each flowers.  I cut the centres, coloured them with the same colour cloud and shed these before adding them in the centre with a pearl.

I embossed a large panel with the floral brocade embossing folder and highlighted the embossing with Pearl Lustre metallic gilding polish.  A few more layers of whiote and periwinkle, pearl corners and stick on pearls and finished.

Enjoy...
