Another challenge at Dies R Us Challenge Blog starts today. This time we are challenging you to use fancy corners. Just because it is a corner does not mean you have to put it in the corner or a rectangle or square. How about in the corner of a circle or oval like I have done here?
I started my card with some paper that is lilac with green mixed in. I stamped that in versa mark with an IO script stamp and embossed with gold embossing powder.
I cut the Frantic Stamper Elemental Ovals from white and lilac. When I bought the die it was wired together, and since I have several oval dies, I decided to leave this wired together so every time I cut it I get the fancy frame and several oval frames in different sizes that can be used on other projects.
I used the largest lilac oval and glued the corner flower die to the back and trimmed the excess.
I used some velum behind the the fancy part of white die cut frame then I placed the lilac oval in the center. A Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle framed the piece. As an after thought, I decides the largest flowers needed some velum. Wish I would have thought about that before I put it together. I also inlaid a few pieces of the lilac in the white frame and added a few pearls. The frame was placed on a white A2 card base.
The team has some fabulous fancy frames to show off over at Dies R Us Challenge Blog.

You always inspire me and I am so motivated after seeing your creations. When you make a card, and I have the same dies, I what to channel you and make one just like it. That is what I think about this one. I love everything about this card. From the beautiful background paper that you added gold scrip. to the corner flower used in the oval.

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is so beautiful. I'm with Barb, I always want to CASE your creations after seeing them. The thing that strikes me about this one is the fussy cut vellum flowers behind the oval. It's just so stunning and effective! LOVE what you have done with that background frame die too. Simply fabulous!!!
ReplyDeleteOh, so gorgeous! I want everything you used! Love how you filled in little parts of the oval frame. That's just one of those little things, but every detail of your card is amazing. The flowers in vellum are beautiful and I never would have guessed it was a corner die. Very versatile and very clever of you!
