August 10/2015 3 Quick Cards

Just one more card with the Thinlit Word dies (well just one this month!).  And the butterfly die is so pretty especially dressed up with some coloured pearls.  Lastly focusing on the designer paper for You Make me Smile with additional splats of color!

      

August 8 & 9, 2015 4 Cards & DSP

So you saw the sneak peak of the 4 cards we were making with the English Garden Designer Series Paper.  Here are the full versions…
  This one we made just BEEcause!!  Used lots of the new gold thread around the flowers and under the bee. 
         We cut a rectangle of the DSP in half vertically and horizontally, matted the pieces using 3 on the outside and the fourth on the inside. Added a little vellum butterfly and the result looked very nice!
Usually when die cutting the butterfly I just use the butterfly.  But this time we put it back into the negative space with some of the designer paper underneath for a WOW look!!
     And lastly a masculine card with the very flowery paper and the new Brick embossing folder.  We used the brayer to make the flowers look like old wallpaper.  Went nicely with the card from ‘Guy Greetings’.
