For You
Hello there my crafty friends! I started with a piece of teal card for the background. I used the centre die from the Art Deco Ornate Tile to cut into the middle of the teal card. I cut another one out of antique gold card and added it as a shadow behind the teal card. I backed the entire piece with a piece of ocean card. I cut the Elegant Fanfare die out of Antique Gold card twice. I cut the die on the sides of the corner so that I was able to reassemble the corners into a larger square shape. I cut the middle die out of the Ornate Tile in antique gold and layered it onto the middle of the card. I cut the For You out of Ocean and Teal card. I used the teal card as a shadow behind the ocean die cut and glued it into the centre of the card. The card was completed with white, antique gold and teal card. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size.
Hi Sue. What a lovely card today. I do love the corners and I am pleased you have explained how you made them, I always forget that you can snip into the die cuts to make a different shape,
A lovely card. Love the gold and teal together, we are all knowledgeable now about how to make your die cuts into different shapes to the ones they cut out as.
