I've been looking through my collection of 'freebie' die and stamp sets which I've collected over the years although due to Covid and Lockdown it seems ages since I bought any craft magazines - not that I'm short of dies and stamps, free or otherwise but I could never resist picking them up from the supermarket 😉. Unfortunately, or may be fortunately, craft magazines don't seem to be available with my online grocery shopping!!
Anyway I came across a large set of dies from four years ago which includes houses, which I have used before, and also some city-scape dies and ones depicting a fairground which I've never used so I set about making a card with a fairground theme which I thought would be apt for the lovely summery weather we are having at present. This card involved quite a bit of measuring and trimming of pieces of card to build up the various layers and I certainly wouldn't want to be making a lot like this but I think it has turned out OK in the end. I've yet to use the city-scape dies but I'm sure an idea will come to me at some point for these as well.
I was one who loved all the rides at the amusement parks and fairs and this card takes me back to those days! Beautifully and cleverly designed!
ReplyDeleteSuper card Val, I love the beautiful scene you’ve created. xx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful summer scene Val, and all the fun of the fair. It looks very intricate but what a fab set! I know what you mean about magazines. I didn’t buy many, but I couldn’t resist looking whilst at motor services enroute to a holiday xxx
