Hi Everybody,Earlier this week I was asked the question ... "What is the long thin bar for that is in the
Arched Window die set?"
Here is a card that I made using that die set quite some time ago and I have added some Fancy Lattice behind the frame to make the card look more churchy
The thin bar that is with the set is there for you to divide the window up into window panes if you wish.
By placing the strip in different places you can create a window that will give a new look each time you use it.
The dies will produce solid panels or by nesting them together you can create frames of different sizes
A really pretty die that can create some lovely effects for you and can be for many occasions.
This one is for a wedding but it would make a lovely Christmas card with a stained glass window in the frame
The bows centre and the Guipure lace in a soft cream are both from Wild Orchid Crafts and the sparkly Pearl and Diamanté strip is from Want2Scrap
More tomorrow ...
Hugs xx

Good Morning Christina :) Well.... it doesn't matter "when" you made this card. It's timeless! It's exquisite! It's Beautiful! It's a Signature Christina Card! What a way to start my day with such a work of art! Thank You so much for sharing. Enjoy a most beautiful day! Big Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThis is really pretty, Christina. The design is so delicate and I love the flowers. I often worry about putting too much on a card and this one proves that with only three roses the window has come to life :). I'm 'resting' today as I managed to glue my thumb with the hot glue gun instead of the card yesterday lol. I'm just a disaster waiting to happen in the craft room. xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Perfect wedding card.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful die Christina and the white on white looks absolutely stunning. Pat x
