Birthday Wishes
Hello crafters! I started today's card by cutting an aperture in the middle of a piece of white card using the Art Deco Ornate Tile die. Next I embossed it with the Tidal Sands Embossing folder. I added mounting foam to the back of the embossed piece to raise it and added it to a piece of deep purple card. Next I cut the Art Deco Fan Border out of black card and I extended it to make a longer border. I cut the border down the middle to make two separate borders. I cut two long thin pieces of black card and glued them to the cut sides of the border. I glued the two borders to each side of the card. Using the Art Deco Ornate Tile die, I cut it out of wisteria card. I cut the die again but out of black card this time. I shadowed the wisteria die with it then added it to the centre of the card recessing it into the aperture. I cut the Art Deco Birthday Wishes out of white and black card. I shadowed it then glued it to the middle of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

ReplyDeleteGood Evening Sue and all that visit today.
ReplyDeleteI am loving these Art Deco sample cards Sue. Such wonderful shapes and designs. Even your lovely embossing folder fits in place with the main dies. I am hoping Santa Clause will have a few of these dies to put in my stocking in a few weeks time. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds. Please stay safe and well 🙏
A gorgeous Art Deco card Sue. Xx
