Hi Friend

Hi Bloggers.

Here's today's card -

An easy peasy card today - the background die is so lovely that you don't need to add much.

I cut the Spellbinders Tapestry Die out of Coconut White Card leaving a border around the edge (it has no outside cutting edge). I inked through the die with Terra Cotta Adirondack Dye Ink using a Smoothie. I matted it onto Black Card.

I stamped the sentinent from the Creative Expressions Tatty's Text  onto Coconut White Card using Jet Black Archival. I cut it out using a die from the Spellbinders Victorian Tags Die Set and inked through the die with Terra Cotta ink. I cut the correspinding larger die and inked through the die with Terra Cotta Ink.

I assembled the card as shown adding some 8mm White Pearls and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

See told you it was easy!

The first stock of Phill Martin's dies is due in today. All the orders placed for them will be posted out today. You can still get 10% discount on Phill's dies on my website here till midnight tonight.

  11. As you have shown, sometimes background dies produce a design that it is a shame to cover up and it is only right to leave further decoration to a minimum. Certainly a case of less is more as you have illustrated with this sweet card.

    Simple, but very effective, love the overall look of this card, the die is lovely!
    Can I ask.....what is a 'precision probe'??? I am guessing its a fancy name for a pokey tool !!

  27. Hi Julia,
    I love background dies as they make a quick card but still look amazing and this is no exception.
    I emailed you on Friday Julia to say I had received my goods THANK YOU, but I don't think it went through so just confirming...having problems with emails, just about ready to tear my hair out or throw it through the window, blooming computers!!!

  28. Hello Julia.

    It maybe easy Julia but it's lovely. The Tapestry Die looks really nice but I think it's your colour combination and the use of Black card that really make it ping. Thanks for sharing.

    Congratulations tracy w.

    Best wishes
