Hi Everybody,Todays card is a million miles away from pink but I wanted to try something with lots of drama in it for a change.
The whole card has been hand cut and not a die in sight and the Gold patterned card is from a 6x6" stack by My Minds Eye called Fancy That.
It is very dramatic and the gold is lovely and shines in the light. I had to position the card carefully so as not to get the glare
So to create this I took a piece of black A4 card and simply folded it in half and then trimmed it down to a square.
I layered up the gold piece sot hat it was slightly smaller then the base and added it with wet glue
The banners are cut to create a gold edge to each one with the striped card that is in the pack and each one is layered with more of the black card
Each banner is raised with foam tape for dimension. The sentiment was stamped onto parchment and then heat embossed with gold powder. This is also hand cut to fit the card.
The large black pearls from Want2Scrap that I have placed in each corner are hiding the glue dots underneath the parchment which, no matter how hard you try, will show through.
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

ReplyDeleteWOW...this is one very striking card, Christina! I love the fact that you didn't use any dies to make this stunning piece of art! x
ReplyDeleteYour card turned out really nice....what a change in not seeing some of your beautiful flowers and ribbon...this would be perfect color combo for a masculine card.

Hello Christina
ReplyDeleteI had to look twice at this card as it's nothing like your usual cards.(Thought I was on the wrong blog site) lol!.
You've done a really good job cutting it by hand. I think it would do for either man or woman.
Best wishes

A very striking card that would work for many different occasions, including wedfing, birthday, anniversary and even for a masculine card. I love the double banners. Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteHi Christina this is a lovely card, striking would be ideal for a mans card which I struggle to find anything for when I need to do one.
ReplyDeleteKind regards

ReplyDeleteThis is my absolute favorite card that you have created! LOVE the drama of the black and gold!!! Spectacularly delicious!!! Must get that paper pad! TFS!
ReplyDeleteWonderful design. Love the rich colors. Definitely not your normal style but still quite lovely. Just wondering if it was difficult to come up with a design so different from your normal style?
ReplyDeleteA good male card Christina. Like it.
ReplyDeleteLove the card, Christina. It looks like row after row of diamonds on the background paper. I love black in a card..always adds a little drama.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very striking card and I like it very much. The background from My Minds Eye is lovely and overall I agree it would be a great masculine card. A simple but stunning card.
