Happy Monday! A relatively quick card that I made last night when yet again there was nothing on the telly. Happily, the Sewing Bee is on tonight so I shall enjoy curling up watching that later.
As the title suggests, I made this card using the Radiant Roselily die set by Tonic. I cut out the main die in matt gold card and then used the more ornate of the two options to cut the outside edges. I die cut the different sized flower dies that fit in the panels several times in white gold shimmer paper and gentlly shaped them with the Tonic flower tool set (my new favourite toy) and layered them up (hopefully the second pic shows the paper colour better). I added some Tonic White Nuvo drops in the centres as I couldn't find the right sized pearls in my stash (everything but what I needed!). Overnight they seemed to sink into the gaps in the petals and some even had a dip in the centre, so I've added another layer on top tonight. I mounted the whole thing on a DL card blank and job done. I'm thinking this might make quite a good wedding or anniversary card, in fact I might have just had an idea....
Hi Cara what a wonderful card, the design made with the dies is so beautiful, love it, Kate x
ReplyDeleteJust stunning, Cara! Love the gorgeous dies you've used. xx
ReplyDeleteWow one special and eye catching card. So classy ...love it x What do you mean nothing on the telly...there's the football!!! lol xx
ReplyDeleteHi Cara,
ReplyDeletewhat a very stunning card.
I love that beautiful die cut, and those flowers are so very pretty.
I have now TV so there is always something to watch on there, and also my DH hates watching sport so perhaps I am very lucky.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Cara another stunner. Great frame for your flowers. The white and gold colour combo is so classy.
ReplyDeleteHugs Erika. x
Great card Cara, I love the white and gold combo. I think it would also make a fabulous Christening or Anniversary card. I don't watch TV anymore, its all so disappointing. I wait for it all to be done and watch boxsets :) Cx
ReplyDeleteThis is totally gorgeous! Effortlessly stunning!

Hi Cara, how gorgeous is that. It might be quick but it's brilliant, love it. Happy crafting, Angela xXx
ReplyDeleteThis is smashing Cara. I agree with Claire, it would make a lovely Christening or Anniversary card, but also it would make a beautiful condolence card too. I suppose, thinking about it, those are the cards we should always have made up ready, because it is a card we all do not like to have to make. Judy x
