A daily papercrafting blog which features my handmade cards showcasing Creative Expression's products including my own line of cutting dies and embossing folders, Cosmic Shimmer, Ranger and more which use various techniques and ideas to hopefully inspire the creativity in you.
Hi crafters! I selected a piece of milk card to use for the background. I taped the Ornate Tiles stencil over it and inked through it with Fossilized Amber Distress ink. I cut a piece of white card for the bottom of the card and scored it vertically across. I added a thin piece of card between the two parts cut from the postage stamp dies. I cut two of the Window dies in milk card. I glued them on top of each facing different directions so each end would look the same. I added mounting foam to the back of it. I cut a smaller piece of card to fit the window and added two trees from the Swing Tree dies set. I added a tire swing to one of them and a birds nest to the other. Several clouds were added from the You Are My Sunshine die set behind the trees as well as a few birds. There were grass tufts added beneath the trees as well as a friendly squirrel. I added the window horizontally to the top of the card. I used the Wishing You A Beautiful Day sentiment cut from tan card and black card. I shadowed the sentiment then added it to the shadow backing die. The card was completed with milk mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
Good Morning Sue and all that visit today. A great card I think for the men. I will try this but ... With darker colours and maybe a darker wood plank background. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone. Please stay safe and well 🙏 Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds.
