New Creative Expression/Sue Wilson Dies

 

 

Quick card today showcasing Dies from Creative Expressions

 

 

A quick card today using 2 of the New Dies from Sue Wilson - Regal Striplet Die and  Decorative Fronds Die.
/cream and /black card to build up the mat and layering. Pierced the edge of the top layer and added flowers from my own stash.

***************************

 

 



Ribbon Flowers cards with embossing folders

 

Two Cards -same process

 

 

 

Chose my colour scheme and cut bottom layer to leave a small border round card base. Cut square for top layer and ran through embossing folder. Cut off 1/2" from one side of square, inked over embossing lightly and made a diagonal cut from one of the shorter edges across to the other. When placed on card the short edge when place on the card is laid to reform the square with the diagonal cut enabling the backing paper to show. Marianne die cut for flowers and ribbon through the slits which are cut from the die. Pearl to finish flowers and sentiment tag added. Second card the same but instead of embossing I stamped a stem around the edge randomly. Used parchment for the flowers instead of a patterned paper.

Mother's Day Card with Ribbon threading and a Penny Black Stamp

 

Happy Mother's Day

 

Stamped this lovely image from Penny Black and painted with Spectrum  Noir Aqua Pens.
Threaded ribbon through holes ( die is part of a set from Tonic) and added a simple sentiment (plonked on -  should have left it off as I hadn't even mounted it!!)
thanks for looking today - a quick post
