Just Because

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card from my recent Spellbinders shows on Hochanda - 

I used a paper from Phill Martin's Decadent Damask 8 x 8 Paper Pad for the background, trimmed down a little (that hurt a bit!).

I cut the middle sized die from the Spellbinders Angle Approach Cut Fold & Tuck out of another paper from Phill's Paper Pad. I folded and tucked it and added a Brad.

I cut one of Sue Wilson's Double Pierced Squares out of Coconut White Card. I added a couple of dies from the Spellbinders Gold Squares One die set and ran them through the Spellbinders Platinum Machine.

I cut the large die from the Spellbinders Lace Doily Motifs Die Set out of the plain side of another paper from Phill's Paper Pad. I cut one of them in half and off set it behind the full one.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Fabulous Sentiments Clear Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Coffee Archival. I cut it out using a die from Spellbinders Lace Doily Accents Die Set. I cut the middle sized die from the Spellbinders 5 x 7 Reflective Moment Die Set out of the plain side of the same paper I used for the Lace Doily Motif.

I cut some corners out of Coconut White Card using Spellbinders Lace Doily Accents Die Set.

I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

    Love your card today as well and the background paper. I knew Phill only as a stamp designer. Have to look after these papers in the internet.

  14. Yeah - we have a winner for the card - congratulations Rolf. Saw the interview on the Hochanda blog - what a star! I need you to get your crystal ball out and tell me what I have done with my lace doily die set. I have a couple of loose dies that need to go back in the packet with their mates, but can I find the packet - nope. Nice to see a mixture of old and new in this card.

  17. Hello Julia.

    I really like the use of corner dies on your frame. The shadowing effect with the Lace Doily Motifs Die is lovely. Thanks for sharing.

    Congratulations rolfi. I think it is very kind of you to redraw unclaimed cards, it's nice to think they are going to get a loving home, lol.

    Best wishes
