Hello friends
Lots to read today!
Pop that kettle on!
Firstly Friday Die Day coincides with Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L™ and Lawn Fawn Blog Hop.
My project will appear here at lunchtime.
There is a chance to win some goodies so well worth popping over there to leave a comment.
This week for Friday Die Day I am featuring......
Spellbinders have hit upon this brilliant idea of Accents and Motifs and have brought us some stunning designs. A way to differentiate between sets is that there is always a long border-style die
within the Accents range.
You receive 7 die templates with this set.
This is how they look cut/embossed and stencilled.
Yes...of course, it is a tag!
I've chosen to stamp the background with a Ledger Stamp and on top with red Swirls.
I did this with the residue of ink left on my stamp pad - not precise or fussy,
I wanted an off centre, messier background!
I am positive there is better crafting terminology but I'm sure you know what I mean!
Using one of the pretty round die templates I cut/embossed a further one from red cardstock to place
behind as a shadow. I stamped a sentiment - off centre.
I also cut/embossed more of the border die template to place behind making a continuous pattern.
Opted for a piece of dotty ribbon.
I used 3D foam pads to raise up the central feature and added some tiny flowers - Bitty Blossoms,
an extra Fleur de Lis die cut and some red satin ribbon.
A close up - from quite a messy background to a somewhat elegant tag!
If Fleur de Lis Accents and Motifs have appealed to you, they are available in my Amazon shop.
I'm thinking that they are also a little bit snowflake shape...

Hi Christine, I just adore your tags which are a great way to use up bits bad pieces left over from other projects. Friday die day is a good showcase for seeing dies that may not get shown to their full potential. Keep bringing them to us.
Thanks.

Hi Christine,
Another great die day thank you I love the way your tag finished. Is this how you designed it or did you just go with the flow. I don't have theses dies but have some that would work just as well so will be trying this.
Have a good day.

Brilliant use of these dies Christine. I do love your Friday die days and can't wait to see what you come up with each week. You too enjoy your weekend.

Hi Christine,
for once I can say I have this die.
Very beautiful tag.
This die is quite useful. I have used the long edged part as a ruler to pierce holes in my card. So if you haven't the proper ruler you can use it instead.
Have a wonderful crafty day.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Absolutely gorgeous tag Christine. Love the colours and the ledger stamp background and the red flourish. Great inspiration. Have a lovely day.
