Lots of pieces!
When I first looked at this die set I thought of scrapbooking but then realised
it works really well as a card front design.
I've used a photo but you could use various patterned papers and embellishments.
I positioned the frame over the photograph and die cut.
(Elliott looks so young!)
I then selected patterned paper (Craftwork Cards - Correspondence)
'Forever' and hearts (dies included in this set) for the additional windows.
Mounted the frame onto my card front, a little bit of distress ink
to the edges.
Beginning to add the panels and embellishments.
I couldn't resist flowers even though I've used a photo of Elliott,
he quite likes flowers!
These are Textured Flowers, beautiful embossing detail on these.
Inked and spritzed with water.
Shaped and very pink!
The finished card.

Heading out to do some shopping this morning and I'm pretty certain
more cat treats will fall into the basket.
Darcy cat is doing well, lapping up the fuss - we have a very jealous Bella!
Take care friends, enjoy your weekend.
Beautiful card and die set Christine. A very versatile set. xx Hazel

ReplyDeleteThat’s a great card and I love that photo of Elliott. I may actually get a chance to craft today, which I haven’t had much time to do lately. Enjoy your shopping and get yourself a nice treat too (wine & chocalate maybe) 🍷🍫🙂
Nice card Christine, it's so good to see the dies 'in use' to give us ideas, thanks.
