Just A Note To Say...

Hello crafters!  I found this one I made ages ago that never had a day on the blog!  I started with a piece of Silver Sparkle Yupo card and used alcohol inks all over it.  I used Sunshine Yellow, Sailboat Blue, Citrus, and Red Pepper alcohol inks.  Next I cut the Just A Note Frame in white,  I inked through the die with Black Soot Oxide ink to add some detail before removing the die cut.  Next I nipped it apart so I was able to put the pieces back together differently.  I was going for a sort of swirl across the card and was pleasantly surprised how it came out!  I cut the die again in red card and nipped away just the guitar and added it to the centre where two of the pieces met.  I cut the sentiment in white and added it to the top right corner.  The card was completed with white and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  X  8"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

Have a nice day.

Lisbeth said...

Hi Sue. I love this die and have found it so useful as many of my friends are musically inclined. I hadn't thought of chopping into it to use it in this way and so I now have more ways of using it for the same friends! Great background too

Hi Sue Wow such a surprise today to see this bright psychedelic card! My first thought was I dont remember Sue launching a die like this until I read that you had cut into the just a note die it looks amazing!

Rose in Chester said...

Hi Sue,
WOW Carnival is here. What a wonderful card, remind me of the late 60-early 70, and my FLOWERPOWER days.......... And I had the figure for it, wouldn't get away with it now.

Hugs

Hi Sue and everyone, I must of missed thd launch of these when I was not well last year. Its a very unusual card for you Sue, but would make a great man card too. I think it's quite fabulous in its own way hugs Donna xx

ursula said...

CraftyJo said...

This is fab! Never heard of Silver Sparkle Yupo card but I'll go look it up now :)

Fluffycat said...

Hi Sue, a bright, bold and beautiful card. As others have said it also reminds me of the 60's and the psychedelic patterns we had on fabrics and all sorts. Very clever cutting and joining of the die, I didn't guess immediately that it was the frame die. I have several musical friends who would love this card.

I love the colorful background used for this card. It really allows the die cuts to pop off the card.

Great use of bright colors and a clever way of rearranging die cuts. I have enjoyed making pieces using alcohol inks on Silver Sparkle Yupo card. I have also experimented with glitter card that has a type of plastic covering over the glitter, i.e. smooth glitter card. This smooth glitter card also works similarly as the Sparkle Yupo card. Thank you for sharing. Hugs
