I still had some snippets of cream and a slightly darker shade (sort of mushroom colour)of pearl card lying around on my desk as well as some of the dies I'd been using so at risk of boring you all I've used up pretty all the remnants and made another card quite similar to the one I took to the Playground for the previous challenge. This is for an Anniversary and will go into my box of cards where I try to keep some for different occasions. The cream card came in A3 size so there was a large enough piece to cut a square slightly smaller than the card blank and this was then embossed to give it some detail. The panel and the hearts were all die cut using a mixture of the cream and darker shade of snippets with an oval die used onto which I stamped the sentiment in sepia. I'm still living in a pretty blurred world so lining up the dies to cut out the intricate pieces has been a bit of a challenge but I got there in the end. I've had my check up and all was fine so the wheels are in motion for the second eye to be dealt with - just a case of waiting patiently for the appointment to come through.
If you visit the playground you will see a lovely floral card with the usual excellent details of how Di made it - so helpful - and of course you will be able to guess what the prize is for one lucky entrant when the draw takes place.

This is really pretty Val and love the combination of the die cut hearts with the rectangular framed couple and that beautiful embossed background. I hope you don't have to wait too long to have your second eye sorted. x
ReplyDeleteWow Val - this really is gorgeous. You do have some wonderful dies - and as always, that special touch when making cards.

I thought I recognised the heart dies as being tonic. Love this card. Hugs Mrs A.
