I have been wanting the SB Heartfelt Creations Delicate Aster die for some time but kept telling myself I had enough. In the end I couldn't resist any longer and it arrived this morning, hence I had to use it straight away. Well you do, don't you?
My Card

I already had an idea what I was going to do today - and using the aster was not part of that plan!! However I cut three of the second size and added them to my card in place of what I was going to use. My card is approximately 6 x 6 " and made from some cream card stock. I ran a piece of brown card stock through Couture Creations "Damask" embossing folder. I then die cut another piece of brown card with SB Borderabilities Bracket Borders One. The striped card stock is from First Edition "Daydream". I then just added a few pink pearls and some card candi to the aster to finish . This card is nothing like it started out but I'm not unhappy with it.
Well that's all for today. See you again soon.
Hello Christine, beautiful card, love the embossing and the use of brown card is lovely, not really a colour seen much and your design is great.
ReplyDeleteMy Aster die arrived the other day and I cut out and made one up but so far not managed a card with it. I couldn't resist either and after all, whe whole world and his wife has them, why be left out. Have a lovely day, Kate x

This is very different to your usual style Christine - I do like the dies used and can see why you had to use the aster immediately! Doesn't it build up nicely!

Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card. I've been toying with the idea of buying SB flower dies. Cards look so stunning with them on. I've just invested in the bracket borders 2 which I love. A superb card anyway.
Love Lea x

ReplyDeleteYour colour choices are wonderful and the pink pearls on the brown card are striking.The EF and die choice are spot on...
Wonderful card Christine.
It is 5:30 am and I have had a wonderful 6 hours sleep...just visiting for a bit and then back to bed to try to get another hour or so of sleep. This morning I feel like i may be starting to get over it but poor DH is rough...doesn't help that we both picked up a cold on the plane...of course he is at death's door! lol
