Golden Girl

 

Hello bloggers!  Back to a single post in a day, I'm afraid!  I wanted to share this card using the Golden Girl die as I think it looks lovely in the new Cut Corner Rectangles.  I started by cutting the Golden Girl out of both white and black card.  I used the black behind the white as a shadow.  Next I used a piece of Silver Sparkle Yupo paper to create the background.  I used Valencia and Red Pepper Alcohol inks on to the Yupo.  I added a bit of blending solution to blend the colours and then let it dry.  I cut a small piece off of the background before gluing it behind the Golden Girl.  I used the small leftover piece and I cut it into five squares and placed them over the leaves in the design.  I nipped away the leaves from the background card and added them with foam over the leaves in the background cut in white.  I made a large frame using the Cut Corner Rectangles and added it with foam.  I completed the card with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

  3. Hi Sue the launch may have finished but the beauty and inspiration continues. Its quite amazing what a difference your new cut corner rectangles make to a design they completely change the look, I can't explain quite what I mean but if two samples were put side by side one with and one without the new frame I reckon the difference would really stand out, its just beautiful how it lifts the design to another level, does that make sense?
    Sending much love.

  31. Beautiful card.

    I am still trying to get to grips with alcohol inks but find it difficult to get anything good out of it. Will persevere though and hopefully get something similar to the lovely colours that you achieve.
