Gosh the weather news does not look good across the pond, I do hope my friends there are keeping warm and staying safe. It’s breezy and cold here but otherwise it is beautiful.
A short post today. This card is for our lovely niece Vicky. It was a quick card as I’ve let the DCWV Mariposa Matstak PP do all the work. I think this 6.5 X 4.5 size will be much easier to use on cards then the 12 X 12. I picked up the blue in the printed butterfly to frame my sentiment and added a few more blue MS Butterflies as well. I’ve layered my ribbon over some sparkly tulle. A few tiny flowers and some gems to finish.
I used the same size Spellbinders, Label Three die for the sentiment and the frame. I traced around my die on the blue card with pencil then cut it out by hand, this gives a thinner frame then using the next large die would.
Thank you all for your lovely comments. I do so enjoy hearing from you.
Have an Amazing Day!
Blessings

Beautiful card. It would have been a shame to cover that gorgeous paper. I have tried cutting the outside of the die for a narrow border but I'm afraid my cutting was not nearly as good as yours and I did not use the piece that I cut. Really lovely card.
ReplyDeleteHi Marie-Louise, I use a scissors but Becca uses her craft knife, check out her video. Sanding really helps even things out.

Gorgeous card Bernie - elegant as always! I have the Mariposa 8" x 8" stack as really should use it more often, you sure have cracked it! Di xx
DeleteBeautiful birthday card, Bernie. I have that paper and it is awesome. I have been doing exactly what you are doing with your die. I made a couple cards recently (don't think they are uploaded yet) and did the same thing. I like it better than the next larger one, too.
ReplyDeleteoh wow Bernie I love those colours together they work beautifully...your Neice will so love this stunning card

Hi Bernie, I love this card - some papers don't need much in the way of embellishment because they are just so beautiful anyway. Great tip about tracing round the die to create a mat - one to keep in mind. Elizabeth x
ReplyDeleteFAB card. I like the way your punched out flowers echo the bottom corner flowers. xxx
