Good morning all....
I am finally able to get back on the computer before my morning starts and show you a little creation I did for the Tonic Double Detail shows that were on this week.
Firstly though... how have you been? I know it's been a while and I apologise, but with it being show season, we have been busy doing the workshops and the last one - ExCel - was last week. I also had a couple of shows on at Feltham in London doing the USA Create and Craft, so haven't really had a chance to get the cards up.
ExCel was brilliant. Both Pam and I had a lovely time and we had lots of fantastic crafters and non crafters come along to create a card with our Tonic products. I will show these later.
So.... onto the card for today, and here it is in all its glory...
I decided to add some pretty patterned paper to this one. I had die cut the centre image using the Poppy Hideaway but decided to use my Nuvo pens to colour it instead of stencil it. It just gives it a completely different look which I love.
I also used the outside edge of the die (it comes in two pieces - VERSO edge) to cut a black layer for the background, keeping it nice and simple but making the colours pop.
I used the Entwining trellis dies to create the flowers at the sides, a mixture of two different ones, and added Nuvo drops to the centres. The little leaves were cut from the Floral Faerie die set and placed under the blooms where I needed them.
The Poppy panel itself was layered onto white, orange and black cardstock, and then mounted onto the base of the card. There was a little bit of matting and layering to the base card too, all to add a little bit of colour around the central panel. I just cut these to size so they 'looked right' so they aren't a specific size.
I hope you like the card today. I loved creating this one ... something a little different... but alot more me!
Until next time! xxx
