Combining Die Sets ...

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is a combination of two die sets from Sue Wilson and it shows that whichever sets you have they will all work together.

The layers are in pink and white and I have used the California Collection and Seville from the Spanish Collection

The sentiment is stamped in pink and embossed in clear onto one of the centre pieces from another of the Spanish Collection.

The satin ribbon is from my "Stash" and is wrapped around the layers with a diamante flower in the centre of the bow.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts and are a mixture of roses, sweetheart blossoms and tulips

The petals are all glamoured up with Glitter Magic for a really pretty effect.

The full selection of dies are available from JGD Crafts and there are the matching stamps for some of the designs.

More tomorrow ...

Seville and Gilding Flakes

Hi Everybody,

Todays card is using the Seville set from Sue Wilson and is part of her Spanish Collection.

This is such a versatile die that can be used in so many ways... and you will find this die and many others from Sues' other collections at JGD Crafts

Here I have used it with Gilding Flakes for a really opulent look and then layered all the panels together with lots of foam tape.

The ribbon is from my "Stash"

But the fancy centre is one of the pieces from the bracelets that I got in Primark a few weeks ago for a few pounds and dismantled.

It looks very pretty over the knot and worked out to have cost about 25 pence once the bracelet was pulled apart.... cheap as chips !!

I really like this die set as the lacy effect is right up my street.

I like intricate dies and the filigree look to my cards makes them very feminine ... especially in pastel colors ...
like er ! pink !!

More tomorrow ...

Butterfly Meadow

Hi Everybody,

This lovely stamp is one that was created to match the Spanish Collection of dies from Sue Wilson.

It is a silhouette stamp and so I have stamped it in black and embossed it in clear.

Then I blended over it all with Victorian Velvet and Broken China Distress Inks for a soft and faded effect.

The top layers are die cut from the Seville set with the lacy panel cut in half and layered behind the stamped layer.

Both the whole collection of dies and the matching stamps are available from JGD Crafts

The only other addition to the card is a little ribbon and some pearls from Want2Scrap

Very simple card and very quick to do for a really subtle look.

More tomorrow ...
