Best Wishes
Good Sunday morning all! I cut the Radiating Background out of both white and black card. I used the black die cut as a shadow behind the white die cut. Next, I inked the Tiger Lily Stampcuts with a water based black ink pad and ran it through the die cut machine. I used alcohol markers to colour it. I added it to the centre of the background with mounting foam. I cut the Best Wishes sentiment from the Milestones Wordie sheets and added it the card with mounting foam. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning all. Wow, that Radiating background really does attract the eye into the main floral element it's very powerful with the pop of black, but I can imagine just how delicate it would look with the old rose shade of pink with the salmon and a touch of vintage gold with one of your new layered flowers or the new stamp cuts. A fabulous start to our day. Love to all xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, wow, wow, wow what a fantastic radiation with the black behind the white, it looks stunning, and with your eyes going straight to the floral centre, this is a go to make crd for me, gorgeous.
I also agree with Steph about the different colours to use, I have got to try this out.
Good Morning Sue, and all our followers. This is lovely and the gorgeous background really does take your eyes to the beautiful centrepiece. The Tiger Lily is a lovely flower and you have captured this one like real life. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏 Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
Hi Sue. As I have said before, I really love the radiating background die as it draws your eye into the center of the card. I wouldn't have thought of putting flowers in the middle though but I think it really works.
Hi Sue, Pat L above often steals the words in my head before I read the comments and eye-catching is exactly what I was going to say :-) The Tiger Lily stampcuts are beautiful.
