Florals

Good afternoon. Thanks for visiting today, and welcome to some new followers. I'll list their names & links at the end of this post, and hope you'll surf over to see the lovely projects they have posted. Here's my card for today:
- image is an old PSX stamp, colored with copics (some time ago). I used some Glossy Accents on the flowers and a few of the leaves. IRL it is quite shiny.

- Green textured Bazzill was diecut with a S/Binder classic oval. The image shape didn't lend itself to a good die, so I mounted it under the diecut. Worked fine.

- top overlay yellow checked mat is S/B Enchanted labels 8. Usually this cuts very nicely. I was using just regular pattern paper so did no shimming. Had to do some poke-ies and some cuts with the scissors to get some bits out. Lesson learned, and definitely Operator Error.

- Viva Décor glitter pearls around on the yellow mat, to hide a few raggedy looking trimouts. Not sure for what occasion the card will be used, but I'll do the sentiment on the insert.

Each of the elements on this card was from snippets, so you know I'm off across the pond to join those Playground girls. Com'on along!

  I've used another of the old flower frogs to display the card. I need to get a backdrop that will show this little gadget off to better advantage. Hope you like this one. I think I do.

I had a couple questions about the Joanna Sheen Britannia dies. Here's the link: http://joannasheen.com/craft-supplies/cutting-dies/britannia-dies/ Apologies for not providing it before.

  1. Brilliant card Mary!Supuer image and great use of your snippets too.

    Shaz in Oz gave me a little tip about those intricate Spellbinders dies - turn the thing by 90 degrees and run it through again - something to do with pressure not being the same all over with some really fussy dies which can cause cutting problems. Not tried it yet I hasten to add!

  10. ah lovely card again and yes shimming is important with fiddly dies the bigger they are the harder it is too, Mary, I think running it through several times helps, plus moving it around on plate too, that is my theory! Shaz in oz.x

  14. Beautiful image. I used to have this stamp but found it difficult to colour in the days before alcohol ink pens! That shows how long ago I had it!
