Hi Everybody,
I am still on my no spend kick and just using dies and items that I already have in my craft room.
This is a really old triple set of dies from Spellbinders and I have used them many times but never on the blog that I can remember.
Each of the panels layers on to the others to build up the design
I have used gold mirror card for the bottom layer. purple mirror card for the middle one and lilac card for the top layer
I have added in some little diamante flowers that have been coloured with alcohol markers to the centre of each flower.
Once the three layers have been adhered togehter they have been added to a black layer and onto another lilac layer and then onto a black base card that is A6 in size.
The sentiment has been stacked with four layers of white card and a top layer of gold mirror card to give it depth, and a few more coloured diamantes scattered around
Not my usual style but pretty all the same.
Bye for now
Hugs xx
Hi Christina. Let's try again. The last few days I've gotten error and haven't been able to comment so...
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing for making all the cards and giving them to the charities. Can't believe that Ruby is 8 already and kitty is 3. Your cards are always beautiful and so is this one today, a nice spellbinders die.x
Morning. Now that is really clever and I do like the result. Are they Sue Wilson? Did you see that she has given up her blog. I have followed her since I started card making. Such a shame. Janet Boyne
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Christina and all that visit today. A lovely card today Christina. I think I vaguely remember dies like these ... Where you build them up to make one ornate die. I didn't buy these because at the time I was just starting to craft and I used to love to print and make my own embellishments. That was many years ago. Now ... Like you Christina ... I have so many dies ... I have forgotten what I do have. A huge sort out is needed ... But I don't know if I can bear to part with some of them . They were bought for special cards and occasions . Thankyou Christina.
ReplyDeleteSending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone. Please stay safe and well 🙏
Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
I never saw that die. It looks interesting though. It is nice to revisit older acquisitions.
ReplyDeleteGreat results.

Good idea to colour your gems to match, alcohol markers make it easy, i remember when you melted beads to make the middles!

Hi Christina Hope you and fur buddies are snug and warm. I don't remember this Spellbinder set but I sure like it. I've been going through my dies and am starting to reuse them. I really like the card you made. You can do any style. Take care everyone. Vicki L Phillips
ReplyDeleteGreat card! and such great dies .... I can imagine so many different combinations with this die. An oldie, but a goodie :)
