Ok, following on from yesterdays post are a few more die cuts made up into cards.This die cut is from the Mixed Media set #2, and it does need glue on the back of the design, as it won't lay flat otherwise.
The card base is an A4 sheet of Pearl white card, folded, and with embossed scoring either side of the panel.
The paper it's backed with is a shimmery one bought a few years ago, and I have it in a few colourways. rarely used it, but it was perfect for this.
I used a Crealies die to cut the sentiment, once from the shimmer paper, and twice more from white card so I could stack them up for a dimensional look.
A few small flowers were punched from the same paper, and doubled up, then some Stickles in dark blue added to the centres.
A similar design for this one, but it's backed with an alcohol inked sheet.
The sentiment is another Phill Martin one, from Mini Baroque Occasions.
Two small butterflies punched from some shimmer paper, and very tiny acrylic gems added to the bodies.
A different die for this one, from Mixed Media set #3, and cut from an ivory base.The backing sheet is an alcohol ink one, in blues with Gold Mixative.
It was matted onto dull gold card, then onto a 6" square card base.
The sentiment is again from Mini Baroque Occasions, and was stamped in Archival Cobalt. A couple of dark blue half pearls added as well.
A 7" square base for this card, and the die is from Mixed Media set # 1. It was cut from a linen cardstock, and then trimmed with a deckle edged blade.
The backing is an oil pastel sheet, and I found some pale purpley-grey cardstock to matt it on to.
Heartfelt Creations Spellbinders die called Delicate Aster was used for the flower, and the centre is filled with Glossy Accents and seed beads.
The sentiment is from Chic Floral Occasions Borders, Phill Martin. I matted the sentiment strip onto an offcut of the backing card before sticking it down.
This one is 5"x7", the die from Mixed Media #3. The backing is a rainbow piece made with oil pastels, and the sentiment is from Mini Baroque Occasions. I repeated what I did previously, and stamped and heat embossed onto an offcut, which I then die cut with a Spellbinders Labels 8 die and mounted with foam tabs. I also added a couple of acrylic gems again.
Another 7" square card, this time the Mixed Media die was cut from black cardstock. It's backed with a different colour of the shimmer paper, and at first glance it almost looks like glitter embossing onto the card.
I backed it again with a dull gold matt.
The sentiment is stamped onto a black heart, and then matted onto a gold heart. Die set is by Nellie Snellen. The sentiment is from Butterfly Elegance Sentiments by Phill Martin, heat embossed in gold.
Some small flowers in black and gold completed the front.
And that's the end of the second batch. More to follow later in the week, I've still got a few to put together.
