Here's are the two cards I made:
I used:
- 5.5" x 4.25" white card blanks, one used vertically with a side opening and the other used horizontally, tent style
- pieces of the same white card stock as a 'frame', trimmed to 5.25" x 4", for the faux pour paper and glued onto the card front
- then a layer of Faux Pour paper from Pad No. 1, by Joanna Sheen, - trimmed to 5" x 3.75" and glued in place
- die cut the two rose dies using my Altenew mini die cutting machine and more white card the same as the card blank. The rose dies are both made by Poppy Stamps and are called 'Rose Stem' and 'Country Rose Corner'
- die cut the sentiment words, again from the same white card, using dies from the Penny Black 'Hooray' set of dies
- glued the die cuts in place using a fine Zig glue pen - finished!
Little tip, each of the sentiment words has a 'dot' above the letter i. It was easy to leave those sitting in the die cuts, adhere the actual word then pop a little touch of glue using the glue pen onto the back of the 'dots' before laying the aperture from the die cut word over the glued in place word and gently pop the dots out onto the card front. Perfect placement and also much less chance of losing the little perishers!
Once again, I'd like to add my card(s) into Darnell's NBUS challenge #14. Love this challenge and it's really encouraging me to use the rather shameful mass of NBUS languishing here.

These are lovely cards - thanks for the handy tip for dotting the I's
ReplyDeleteOh Di - these are stunning - loving the white over the dark backgrounds, it really makes the die cuts 'pop'.

ReplyDeleteAw Di these are gorgeous love that background and the tip with the dot fantastic xx
ReplyDeleteTwo brilliant cards Di and love tbe contrast with the pretty white die cut flowers and sentiments over the faux pour backgrounds which I think have a tapestry look about them too..really beautiful! x
ReplyDeleteLovely cards. It is nice that NBUS is back. Putting those dots over the I's are tricky. Mine normally get lost and then I just have to take a hole puncher and use those as the dots. [Bunny]
ReplyDeleteThey are both beautiful, Di xoxo
