My second post of the day and I haven't even had breakfast yet!!
Our new theme at Try It On Tuesday is 'Feminine and Fancy'.
I am trying to get ahead with my cards this year and this one will be hand delivered, so I got busy with something fancier than I usually make!
My card base is from a new set of fancy edged cards and onto that I mounted some gesso washed glittery paper that I bought to share with my GD - she used hers to make fold up books for her friends.
I added some Frantage embossed swirls but they don't really show up.
I also added a stencilled clock face(which later became covered up!!) and some spatters at this stage, before die cutting some binka that I have loads of, from when I used to do cross stitch. I wasn't sure how well it would cut but as you can see it was fine!(I also made a card in this post here from the waste around the edge)I then cut a piece of book paper using my small scissors to cut a border.
My flowers are a combination of die cut and bought, the leaves die cut or stamped and fussy cut.
The sentiment looked a bit lost with one stamping so I 'bumped" it slightly to make it bolder.
Of course Tuesday is the day to join Bluebeard and Elizabeth for T Stands for Tuesday.
It has been quite cold recently and although I make my own soup usually we have it as a meal with a sandwich.
We have found an instant one that we like so that's in our cups from when we came back from a shopping trip!
I do hope that you will join us this time at Try It On Tuesday with some thing Feminine and Fancy! Any kind of crafting is great - as long as you stick to the theme!
If you want to see what else I am up to this month please take a hop over to AJJ !
Thanks for looking, Chris

Lovely card with elegant design.

Well I'd be giddy, too, if I were March's host for AJJ. What a special honor. I love that you are hosting, and other than Valerie and Susi, you are the first host I know/knew before you hosted.
ReplyDeleteBut for now, lets get to the TioT entry. It was a beautiful card, and I really like it. I had NO idea what binka was until you mentioned cross stitch. Looks like you can die cut just about anything these days! It was a wonderful addition to the card.
Loved that you used soup in your cup today. Different, yet very appropriate. Thanks for sharing it with us for T this Tuesday, and now I'm off to see your AJJ entry!
That is an amazing card. So many layers and details. I'm glad to read it will be hand delivered. I would be afraid it would be squished in the mail.
ReplyDeleteThe birthday card is gorgeous! I especially like the 3D flowers, and I can really appreciate all the layers and time you out into it! Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteBoth pretty and feminine for sure!
