Hi bloggers! I thought I would share one of the Celtic sample cards that I made. I started with a piece of
Petrol Blue card as my background. I cut three of the
Keira die in white and two in black. I nipped each of the in half and glued the pointy ends towards the edge of the card, alternating the colours. Next I cut a wide strip of
Petrol Blue card and gave it a thin black mat on the sides and added a white strip down the centre. then added mounting foam to the back. I seated it in the centre of the card, covering the cut sides of the
Keira dies. I used the
Erin die and cut it twice in black and once out of
Petrol Blue card. I cut one of the black die cuts in half and glued the cut sides to the top and bottom of the strip. I used the blue one in the centre with the remaining black die cut as a offset shadow for it. I used the
Double Stitched Squares and cut a small white frame and added mounting foam to the back. I seated it in a diamond orientation with a strip of vellum between it and the
Erin die. I cut forked ends into the
vellum and cut the
For You sentiment in black and glued it across the vellum strip. White, petrol blue and black mats and layers completed the card. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now. Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful sample today,, love the colour choices you have used too. xx

Hello Sue, a very intricate and unusual design which shows just how well the dies work together. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteA brilliant card, thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hi Sue. You certainly throw some curve balls with your designs, dare I say I'm not a lover of this design but what a genius way to show the versatility of your new Celtic collection. It could look very complicated to a new crafter when in fact it's just the shapes within the design of the die if you get my drift. Today's sample would be a perfect make for a man's card, masculine, clean lines, and bold strong colours.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing all your idea's and have a lovely day xxx
This card with these colours could be a great card for a man. With a change of colour great for a girl. So versatile.
ReplyDeleteLovely card Sue xx Hazel
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue and all
ReplyDeleteSuch a brilliant design this morning and I love the petrol blue. You can tell straight away its a Sue wilson card showing of different ways on how to create a design with the dies.
Crafty hugs to all.. Wendy

Hi Sue, a lovely card this morning. Love the design and the way you have used the dies. . A man card, I think but with a different colourway it could be very feminine.

Hi Sue, a very clever card & design. The Celtic dies are lovely but I am sorry to say that this one is not for me.
ReplyDeleteFrances
Hello Sue and all.
ReplyDeleteA very different card from you today Sue.
I love what you have done with the Celtic die and the colours are lovely.
Have a nice day.

Morning Sue, lovely card, great for males, love the colour. Love Jean xxx
ReplyDeleteQuite unusual card today, but it is lovely....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely I particularly like the way you have set the sentiment onto vellum I am going to try this with some of your older dies like the marvellous square I think that’s what they’re called or is it majestic squares!
ReplyDeleteYes certainly a good male card. Very effective, ideal colour as well. Will have to have a play, but don’t have any Celtic Dies. Thank you Sue
ReplyDeleteI love the way you have used the dies to make a very detailed card. It’s not really to my taste but nevertheless a great design. X
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. I would normally associate Celtic designs with more feminine cards but with this one, probably because of the colours you have chosen, I can see it would work very well for more masculine cards too.
ReplyDeleteLisbeth
Hello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card to make up to the sentiment stage and have on the ready for almost any occasion and recipient, so versatile. Made up in different colours, what a great last minute emergency stash ! (Though I would love to get hold of some of that beautiful petrol blue card too)
