Card with Create and Craft dies

Post by lyndaejane on Fri 17 Oct 2014 - 17:35

Was going to do one like I saw on the demo, but sort of got side-tracked.  Slight error made (didn't leave enough space at edge of die, but I don't think it's too obvious.  I don't know how the demonstrator got her holly 'corners' straight on the bauble: if I put them straight, there was more of a margin at one end than the other - only way I could get the margin even was to have them skew.  Anyway, used a Sizzlits giant holly leaf die (looks white, but is cream) to make a mount for the Tim Holtz greeting.  Everything recycled, apart from the red card and the pearl above the J.



The shadowing of the red above the gold in the corners is deliberate, by the way - all the rage, apparently!

Thanks, Di. It certainly takes your head a lot of getting round, I must say! Kept cutting with the template (ie cutting out completely) when I shouldn't, and vice versa.

No, I'm not putting my 'to do' list here, that would be far to organised, PLUS I would have to keep it up to date  Laughing
