This pretty background is created with the new Houndstooth Card Creator from Spellbinders.
It is in two parts giving you a complete cutting frame that can be used separately to make the base.
Cut it twice and Create a Hinged Card and you are ready to go.
I used the Letterpress Technique with Black Soot Distress Ink on the patterned piece and this is the result.
I added in some Feathers and this would be extremely well suited to any male cards that you have to make.
The sentiment has been cut with Lacey Circles which is a really old Spellbinders die but it is one I use time and time again
More tomorrow ...

Hi Christina, two beautiful cards today put together beautifully.
ReplyDeleteKind regards Anne Owens xx
Christina, very pretty card.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Christina :) Very nice cards this morning and I love your baked beads! Enjoy your day. Big Hugs.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are lovely, but I especially enjoyed the rose with the grey background. This looks like one for the Wish List. Santa is bringing a new Platinum to our house, so hopefully you will be showing us some tips and tricks of using it. I really enjoy your videos, and truly appreciate all of the time and effort it takes you to make them. Thank you!

Beautiful cards and a gorgeous background die!
ReplyDeleteLove the red and black. Really stands out.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are amazing, great to see how they can be used for both sexes....thank you Christina...luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteLove the Houndstooth background and the second card. Not sure about the feathers (for me)??
ReplyDeleteGood Evening, Christina,
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool die! The cards are amazing and I love the blue feathers on the first one. The deep red flowers really pop against the background on the second card...I really must place an order with WOC in the new year, especially for some of the teeny tiny bells, if they still have stock after Christmas, as they are too cute aren't they. They have some really beautiful colours to chose from don't they and I can't wait to start building up a nice supply next year :)
