I saw these dies on Becca Feekins Amazing Paper Grace blog here and so decided to treat myself - well I would have spent much more if I had gone to the show, now wouldn't I? They really are gorgeous and large enough to use for an actual card since the largest die, used here, is 6½ x 4½ inches. Her card is stunning, as always, but I'm not unhappy with mine. LOL!
This will probably be for my sister's birthday which she will be celebrating whilst away on holiday, so I didn't want to make it too bulky for packing. However, knowing me I could well change my mind!
My Card

I used the largest size in the Detailed Scallop cut twice. I made a smaller light weight card to join the two pieces together and make it stable and I also glued the scallops together along the top edge. The packaging says 5 x 7 inches but that's a not quite true. I then used Radiant Rectangles for the centre. The largest of this set is approx 6 x 4 inches, so again would make a decent size card. The sentiment is from JustRite Grand Sentiments and the roses are WOC. The pearls and ribbon are from my stash. I must try to wean myself away from purple and lilac - but I do love those shades!
Well I hope you all have a great weekend and I hope the weather doesn't spoil any plans you may have made.
Love and hugs from Christine xx

Stunning card Christine and I love the colour. I did say I wouldn't need these intricate dies but they are now popping onto my wish/NEED list. Hope you have a safe weekend. xx Flora
Absolutely Stunning. I love them all Christine. I think Becca is really kind to share her tutorials with us and what's more they are easy to follow. I have 3 lots of new dies too, but I haven't had time to play as I'm sewing at the moment. Have a good Day with your dies. Hugs Rita xx

Absolutely beautiful Christine! It's a lovely die, we have to treat ourselves sometimes! Take care this weekend, what crazy weather!xx
omg Christine - that is gorgeous and more! beautiful lacy die and a gorgeous colour scheme. I've not gone to NEC for the last couple of years but I do know that buying one or two sets of dies will have cost me a lot less than what I use to spend up there! Stay home, warm and safe - this weather is crazy ! big hugs Karen x
Absolutely gorgeous Christine, what a super die
