For the first card, I cut the die in black, and backed it with vellum which I coloured on the back with ProMarkers. This gave a lovely stained glass effect. I wrapped a vellum band around the card with a sentiment cut from the Celebration two set
The second card was cut from a pattern paper which I mounted onto a plain white card base, then slotted in some shapes cut from different plain and coordinating patterns. Just a few little gems here and there to jazz it up a little......
I love how changing the colours can result in such different looking cards, suitable for both male and female recipients
Thank you so much for all the emails and messages wishing Mike well, he is still in hospital and is recovering slowly, but life isn't back to normal yet.....xx
Enfys, these cards are lovely. It's amazing to see such totally different results using the same day. I love a die that has so many uses.
ReplyDeleteSending healing thoughts and prayers for Mike's continued recovery and that he will soon be home. I know it will be wonderful to have him home with you again and have life return to a normal pace again. (((HUGZ))) Carol xx
whoops ... above I said "using the same day" ... I intended to say, "using the same die" ... me and my clumsy typing fingers!
DeleteThese are so lovely - not seen this die before and definitely need to investigate it, it looks very versatile.

Sorry to hear Mike is I'll! My Don't has been under the weather too. I wore myself out running back n forth from hospital every day! But he's now recuperating pretty well, as am I. Love your cards. The colors do make a big difference. Thanks for sharing. Hugs, Jess
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing! To continue sharing with Mike in the hospital is difficult and tiring!! Hope Mike continues to improve and that you take care of yourself too! Hugs!
