Hi Everybody,I am due to be back on Create and Craft today at 8am 12 noon and 5pm ... please come and join me if you have some spare time
A few days ago we had a non red Valentines Day one and todays card uses red for an ... "Any day kind of card !! "
It is quite a versatile colour and I used it for the base of the card then layered it with cream.
But the paper for the next layer was a little too gaudy for what I wanted to use and so I diffused it with a piece of parchment that I embossed and added with brads in each corner.
The framework is from the Spellbinders Regal Frame and the central oval is from Fleur De Elegance
The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts and I have mixed them with some tiny rosebuds.
The ribbon trim is netting and I have tied it in a bow with a central dazzler to hide the knot.
The verse is from a set created by Lili of the Valley and has some really lovely sentiments on the sheet ... click the link to see the set
Whenever I make this style of Hinged card I use the 5x7 Matting Basics A & B sets and I will tell you when I have used a different size.
More tomorrow ...

ReplyDeleteHi Christina
ReplyDeleteAnother stunner in red. I try made your hinged card when I can. I've set the recorder today and will watch the shows later.
Hello Christina, a beautiful and bright valentine card today. I like the way you diffused the paper, I always forget that vellum/parchment will do the trick and tend to not use paper I don't like. I will be watching the noon show, the 8 A.M. was a little early for me here (3 A.M). Can't wait to see what you create today as I previewed the new dies and they look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Christina. Red is such a passionate and wonderful color that really makes a statement. Thank you so much for the sizing. I'm getting ready to watch you in about 17 minutes. I've got to grab my cuppa and enjoy the show! Have a fabulous day!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly beautiful!
ReplyDeleteB.....y Nora, I have only gone and won one of your cards. I have been all over the place this morning, so had to tape your first show, and sat down to watch it, then saw the time so went to live show. It was 12.40 before I started my email so had to help it very short, and I was drawn out. So am so excited I do hope they send it first class. Oh I am so happy. Thank you. X Ros, from March.

ReplyDeleteHi Christina, beautiful card as always, I an going to have to look in the dictionary for more descriptive words for your cards.
ReplyDeleteRegards Liz.
Putting the red c/s dies on a light background really makes the red pop off your card.
ReplyDeleteI like that effect...
Well done Christina
Gorgeous!!!!

Christina,
ReplyDeleteAmazing card. How ingenious you are, thank you for that tip, I will have to try it on my next card...have some gaudy paper that came in a pack. Great job as usual.
Hi Christine
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card & love the red colour.
Would be suitable for a 40th Ruby Wedding Anniversary I think plus lots of other occasions too.
