I sound like a broken record buuuuut, I really do adore the images by Marina Fedotova that Whimsy Stamps does. Today’s card features Angel Wishes, you get a double dose of sweetness with this one.
I used the fabulous Notched Squares Die Set for the card shape, and an old Martha Stewart punch for the border on the dark panel.

I made a simple poinsettia from foamiran and the Lily Flower Die Set. The little blue flowers are also foamiran, I used an old blossom punch for these and glued 4 layers together before filling the centres with a whole bunch of platinum coloured stamens (I painted the stamens to get the colour I wanted). I die cut some platinum glitter holly leaves and white mistletoe leaves from the Christmas Branches die set and finished off with some distressed organza ribbon and some wee polystyrene snowballs.
The snowflake frame is a Find It die (Marieke or Amy’s line??, can’t remember). I finished off with a sentiment from my all time favourite Christmas sentiment stamp set – Holiday Mini Sentiments. They just have every sentiment I could ever need and in the most perfect size too.
I don’t often make blue cards but I love how this one turned out.

ReplyDeleteBev, this is so stunning!! All of your work is! Can I ask how you make the die cut into a card...how do you attach front to back?
ReplyDeleteThank you lovely. I use the largest die to make the card, so score and fold in half an A4 sheet of card, then I stick the die in place with some washi tape, making sure the top cut line is past the fold on the card so it doesn't cut two separate pieces of card and the fold stays intact.
