First though, help me welcome a new friend, Kathy, of KTKrafts. Please take a few moments to go over, enjoy Kathy's wonderful blog, and say hello. You won't be sorry you did! It's been a while since I had a new follower (have been seeing them disappear, then reappear), so it was happy, happy to see a new friendly face show up in the pictures' list.
Now, on to the card:
- MBox Ringo Tile die* cut out the white c/s, and Sizzix XandO EF. It is not showing well, but there are 2 scored lines separating the embossed section and the panel. Behind the panel is a previously done spray piece (believe it was Dylusions..I've been experimenting with Brusho-s and Dylusions - so there's plenty of background pieces. I _should_ write on the back of the piece what product was used, but ...)
- Frantic Stamper sentiment die cut from the same color.
- added a few sequins...and folks, that's my CAS!
*First tried die cutting the MB die with some textured Win-Win c/s (it's like Bazzill). Did lots of passes, but it did not cut well. Added a metal shim, still not a clean cut. Tried with varying thin card stocks...flipping & rotating the die as it was being cut. After working with some good sharp scissors to cut out bits of the panel, I gave it up. Decided to try one more time with just the cheap Walmart brand of GP cardstock, just a few back n forth passes - no shims - the die cut very cleanly. Only had to poke out just a couple of bits. The main panel was raised up on thin white fun foam - a technique I've seen Jennifer McGuire doing lately.
I'm off to link up with Happy Little Stampers Challenge for May 2015.
Thanks for joining me today, big hugs all round, and hope if you've not been feeling well lately, that you're on the mend! God Bless.

ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this card Mary! Those blended colors look stunning with the partially embossed background and delicate die cuts! I bought an overall die at a show once that I have yet to be able to cut!! I rolled, turned, shimmed, taped, switched cardstocks and nuffin worked, so I'm glad you were able to find something compatible! Well done!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card design Mary, love the colors and see through panel with gorgeous embossing.

ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Mary. I LOVE your sprayed background behind the gorgeous, intricate die-cut panel.
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun experimenting with sprays and brushos ... I also have a HUGE stash of backgrounds. :)
Thanks for playing along at Happy Little Stampers. xx
Love that pretty tile, Mary! Sorry it didn't cut well. I hate when that happens... Love the beautiful colors of the background and a new to me EF! I thought of the fun foam as I was putting on a ton of dimensionals this morning. I need to think of it BEFORE I start. At least I'm remembering to start with the Misti!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, your colors are just fabulous, off to read about Brusho!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful CAS card, Mary!!!! Love the beautiful coloured strip and the dry embossing!!! The sentiment and the three sequins finish it off perfectly!!!

A lovely no stamping card. I find those quite hard to do. The colors pop so nicely from all the white.
ReplyDeleteSo striking and lovely, Mary ... gorgeous texture and colours and fabulous bold die cut sentiment! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteLove this beautiful card, well worth the effort of keeping at cutting the die. Great colouring behind it and love the rest embossed.
