Hi Bloggers.
Today's card features the New Zealand Background -
I started by misting a piece of Watercolour Card with Aqua Lagoon, Golden Mint and Egyptian Blue CS Misters.
I cut dies #5 and #6 from the New Zealand Background Die Set into a piece of Coconut White Card. I added a die from the Double Pierced Background Rectangle Die Set. I trimmed my misted background to slightly smaller than my die cut and glued the pieced together. I slotted die #4 into the aperture and cut to create a frame.
I then cut die #3 into another piece of Coconut White Card. I
glued my waste piece from the previous step at the back of it. I added my large background
piece to it using CE Mounting Cushion and added a frame cut from Coconut White Card using the Double Pierced Background Rectangle Die Set. I matted onto Coconut White Card, another piece of Coconut White Card inked with Fresh Grass Colour Cloud and a final piece of Coconut White Card.
I stamped the sentiment from the Woodware Imagine Verse Stamp Set onto Coconut White Card using Vivid Chartreuse Archival. I cut it out using die #2 from the New Zealand Background.
I made some flowers out of Coconut White Card and more of my misted background using the Spiral Flower Die Set and added an 8mm White Pearl to the centre of each flower.
I cut a couple of pairs of foliage out of Coconut White Card using the Blossoming Branch Die Set. I cut the little flowers out of more of my misted background. I added a little CS Crystal Sparkle PVA to the centre of each little flower.
Thanks for stopping by.
Julia.

Another winner in my book. I love the New Zealand background which I ordered when I saw you demo it on Hochanda. When it comes I will attempt a variation of this card. I have had to put all my die cutting on hold with a house full of company and now that everyone has left, time for card making to take my mind of a too quiet house.

Another awesome background. I see this green and white beauty as a St Patrick's Day card. I know, I know, shamrocks only have three petals not four or five petal. With a few changes, this design can work for me this coming St Patrick's Day.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Such an effective background I’m beginning to create more backgrounds rather than rely on papers or computer generated backgrounds- all down to your fabulous inspiration
ReplyDeleteHi Julia, Gorgeous !! the colours are beautiful as is your card.
ReplyDeleteLots of love from Patricia xx
