Hi crafters! I pulled out an older die set for today's card offering. I started with a piece of card that I used
Midnght Blue Pixie Powders all over. I cut the
Slimline Outer Scalloped Oval Aperture Trio out of it. Next I cut the
Inner Scalloped Oval Aperture out of white card and glued it below the other die. I cut another piece of the pixied card and used it as a backing piece. I stamped the animals, trees and log from the
Forest Animals stamp set and cut them out with the matching
Forest Animals dies. I used
Distress markers to colour them in.
Iced Snow was added to the trees for sparkle. I mounted one of the trees and the fox and hedgehog in the left aperture, then added the log and a squirrel off to the ide. I used two more trees and some of the smaller animals in the left oval aperture. I cut the
Season's Greetings die and nipped the two words apart, then mounted them above and below the apertures. I used the baby deer in the centre aperture. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 5 1/4" x 9 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Stunning card Sue, love the blue background xx
ReplyDeleteOK this has thrown me, do I remember these? No, are they a mix of a couple of sets or all one set, I really don't remember these at all but I have to say just how lovely they are perfect for your slimline cards Sue. I feel some research is necessary unless they've been retired that is. Wishing everyone a good, safe, and hopefully a happy Friday. Love to all xxx

ReplyDeleteOH Wow what a brilliant card thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hi Sue and everyone well I dont remember the dies you used on todays card. I think these have to be very old dies, from before I found you and your wonderful blog. But I love them none the less and a great background too Sue.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWell I am glad I am not the only one that doesn't remember these dies. They are just perfect for your slimline collection.
I have done a little bit of research and found that you released these in June 2017 and also found that these are available at various craft stores along with a matching stamp set.
Your card is gorgeous and I love the blue background.

Another great DL card, I can’t wait to start my Christmas cards, but I don’t have these Dies. However I think there are so many Dies you have produced which lend themselves to this shape. Thank you Sue.
