It doesn't show well in the picture but the navy card stock has a very subtle sheen and the lavender card is hammered card stock. After cutting the largest die I used foam pads to attach the negative to the navy card then added the rest of the dies directly to the card. I added the little navy bow and purple Papermania shimmer dots, with a WOC 15mm rose in the centre. So quick and easy but I think it looks quite effective. The corners were the negatives left after cutting out one of the dies which I didn't use all of - I trimmed it down to make the navy centre piece and cut the final lavender piece into a frame. There just seems to be no waste at all with this set, it's fabulous. Must try it in different colour ways; it might be nice for Christmas.
Anyway that's all for today so I hope you all have a great day.
With love from Christine xx
PS My mountaineer has returned safe and sound!!!! He was due back Thursday night but I got a text to say he would be back at midnight, and in fact he arrived home at 9:15pm. It's always a worry with such a risky pastime but he just loves climbing! So I grin and bear it. My hobby is much safer. LOL!

Well Christine, yes that lady has cost me a fortune, have to stop watching Sue on C & C. I bought these dies and had a wee play and now you have given me another way to use them. Your card looks very intricate and the colours ae gorgeous. Glad to hear hubby is back safe and sound.

Good Morning Christine, I love the colour combination and design you have used. Glad your mountaineer is safely home. xx Flora
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Christine. Love the colours you have used. I got these dies a few days ago and have been playing around with them - they really are nice. Glad your husband got home safely.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine,
ReplyDeletewell what a fabulous card. So love the colour combo. Those dies sound wonderful. I am itching to buy more, but can't afford it right now, still there is Christmas coming up. I am going to see my Dad in a few weeks time, and with so many grandchildren for Christmas presents, can't afford to do it all. Still the later two
are very important to me. So I will have to curb my wanting new dies for a while.
Have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L. Ps so glad everything went ok with the climb.
Very pretty card. Those dies are wonderful!x
ReplyDeleteDon't change your style of card as they are always so elegant and this one is no exception. A beautiful card Christine, very classy and I love your choice of colours. Well I keep blaming Sue Wilson too but seeing your design I need these dies so will blame you for the expense this time LOL! Pleased that John arrived home safely and hope he enjoyed his climb. Have a lovely day, special hugs Christine H xx
