Next week will see the new Provence Collection on Hochanda and sadly I won't be there to show you. Because of the Corona-virus and being in one of the "At Risk" groups I am taking the precaution of staying at home.
However the lovely Lou Collins will be showing you my collection next Tuesday and I hope you enjoy the shows.
These are some of the items that will be on the show and this is the Beautiful Birdcage die along with the stamp set that matches it.
I used the outer die from the birdcage to cut the aperture in the card front and then I added all the branches and flowers from the set to decorate the edges.
I stamped some branches on the inside of the card too and then stamped, coloured and fussy cut the parrots.
I added faux clouds to the background and both parrots are sat on golden swings.
But this same die set can create the most beautiful 3-D Birdcage and I have filled mine with flowers, ribbons and pearls
Such a romantic look and this would be a real eye catcher on some ones mantle for a special occasion.
So there you have two ways to use this die and stamp set.
For this one I have inked the background in soft colours and the added the flowers in the same colours for a blended look to my card. Gemstones have been added to the flower centres
The birdcage has been cut in a vibrant turquoise and added to a white background.
Both birds are die cut from the set and one is sat on the swing while the other is waiting in the door way to enter the cage
I think all three projects are really special and I am sure that Lou will have many more to show you next week
Stay safe
More tomorrow...
Hugs xx

Hello Christina,
ReplyDeleteStay safe, that's the main thing. We aren't socialising and even our granddaughters aren't visiting as they usually do every day after school. My daughter has just dropped of our shopping but put the bags on the doorstep and went to the garden gate while I picked them up. We had a good natter but she kept 6ft away. It has to be done.
Now as to your dies and your makes, they are really beautiful and I'll look forward to seeing what Lou does with them.
Take card.
