Birthday Wishes
Good Sunday morning all! I selected three colours of card from my cut piece box and used them to make the background. I cut amethyst, raspberry and teal card into one half inch strips. I covered a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet then laid down all the strips, alternating the colours. Next I cut the Art Deco Ornate Tile out of gold mirror card. I added a white background behind it and began to paper piece the colours into it. I cut the die again out of teal, raspberry and amethyst card and used the fall away pieces to paper piece them into the die. I cut the Birthday Wishes sentiment out of Amethyst and black card. I shadowed the sentiment then glued it to the centre of the card. I added it with mounting foam to the background. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another beautiful creation, I love the strip background, it is great way to use up scraps too. Amazing with the gold art deco design in the front, yes another winner Sue xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning. Another lovely Art Deco card ... And those gorgeous colours. Wow. It just goes to show what fabulous backgrounds you can make with all those pieces you would normally throw away. Yes I like this one. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please stay safe and well 🙏.
Does anyone know if STEPHANIE is ok. I haven't seen any comments from her since I got back from our holiday. I hope she is ok.
Hi Sue. What a lovely card design again today although, unlike everyone else, I am not too keen on the colours against each other. If I were going to make a card like this I would probably either change the colours or just use one of the colours used in the frame to use as a background - sorry.
Another card which I wish we could see in real life as to start with I thought some of the stripes were grey until I read the description & saw the close ups. Not colours I would have put together but @ nice card. Thank you Sue.
Good afternoon Sue, fabulous card and a great background. I agree with lindlyloo about the centre of the art deco die. I’ve seen this die several times but this is the only occasion that my first thought was of a stage, wondering if it is the gold mirror card Marion S x
