Hi all. I decided it was about time to use some of my much neglected papers, and I got out an Altenew Layered Roses Die set which I got free with a magazine many years ago and which I am sure I have never used..tut! tut! I also used a new corner die which I got in the Black Friday sale and this is its first outing and is called Bamboo Corner Trellis, a Paper Discovery die set. There is a bamboo die, but this is the second in the set which has a more generic trellis look. You can cut both designs out as well as just cutting them into the card, and there are a couple of sentiments too.
I got out a couple of sets of papers, the first a Craft Consortium pad called Grunge Light and an old one by Chocolate Baroque which I used for just the orange coloured rose, and I was able to cut the pieces for the purple and pink flowers and the leaves from the Craft Consortium pad as there are lots of sheets where there are a good variety of colours and tones. I decided to also cut a white base layer to make the flowers and leaves sturdier. I also cut a piece of blue from the Craft Consortium pack to go behind the trellis.
I cut a piece of white card to about 5.75", just slightly wider than the trellis die and cut that adding the blue paper behind it, and I then put all the pieces together and added the flowers and leaves over the trellis. I did add a piece of foam to the back of the first yellow/orange flower but decided not to do the same to the other two as I could see that it would make them rather thickly layered for posting. I finished by die cutting the sentiment from a piece of gold glitter card which was a label which came on a parcel and which I thought was too pretty to waste. I had already cut a butterfly from it, used on this card here, and I just managed to cut the sentiment from the rest.
Thank you for dropping by today and I'll see you again soon.
