Hi Bloggers.
Today is the turn of the Cygnus Gemini Die as a giveaway. Just leave a lovely comment below for a chance of winning. The draw will be on Sunday 7th June. 10% discount on my website www.juliawattscrafts.co.uk ends tomorrow at midnight.
Here's today's card -
For the background, I rana piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Art Deco Rose Swirl Embossing Folder. I cut the all 3 dies in Sue Wilson's Cygnus Die Set out of Coconut White Card. I taped all 3 dies back in place on a piece of Aqua Card, removed the decorative die from the centre and just cut the 2 outer dies. I glued the 2 die cuts together using Cosmic Shimmer Dries Clear Glue.
I stamped the sentiment from a new Clear Stamp Set from Creative Expressions called Fabulous Sentiments onto Aqua Card using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer True White Detail Embossing Powder. I cut it out using the smallest die in Sue's Montreal Die Set. I cut all the remaining dies in the same set out of Aqua and Coconut White Card and stacked them up using 3D Foam.
I cut 2 corners out of Aqua Card using just the outer die of the corner die in Sue's Caribbean Border, Corner & Tag Die Set. I then cut both the dies from the corner set out of Coconut White Card.
I made a flower out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Perfect Peony Complete Petals Die Set and popped a little Aqua Dazzler in the centre. I cut a couple of leaves out of Coconut White Card using Sue's Maidenhair Fern Die Set.
I assembled the card as shown adding some piercing around the edges.
Leave a comment below for a chance to win Cygnus.
Thanks for stopping by.
