A few weeks ago I fell in love with a die set, showcased by Donna HERE. After searching online, and even thinking of (tedious) ways to make a similar card without a die, I did resort to an unbranded die set in the end (one is offer right now over in the Snippets Playground!) and here we go:
I used:
- white 5.75" x 4.25" card blank, tent style
- a snippet of Tonic satin effect matt mirror card in 'Black Velvet' - die cut with an unbranded 'Hexagon Cover Plate' die from Amazon (I can send you the direct link - just email me)
- glued the black die cut to the card front - bear in mind I made two at once - following our Val's advice when she recently made her two beauties HERE
- then I chose a couple of sheets of patterned paper from the 'Dovecraft 'Back to Basics - Monochrome' paper pack' - I do so LOVE that paper pack!
- die cut the patterned sheets of monochrome paper and glued the infill pieces to each of the two cards - flipping between the two
- used the fall out black centres in the empty middle space on each card - glue pen again
- then die cut a snippet of Tonic pearlised 'Red Velvet' card, twice per card
using double layered Heffy Doodle 'Hello Shadow' die cuts (bought in their closing down sale, sigh)
- die cut the 'shadows' using the same die set and a vellum snippet
- glued the sentiment layers together, glued them to the vellum and then onto the black hexagon in the centre of the card
- finished!
I'd like to enter my card(s), as they are a pair, into the following challenges:
- Darnell's NBUS challenge #66 HERE - the hexagon die set is NBUS
- Allsorts Week #800 HERE - the theme this week is 'anything goes' Congratulations the Brenda and her team - 800 challenges - wow!
Dudley Pupdate: Oh boy, has it been WET here. One stubborn little pooch has at times had to be physically dumped into the back garden for 'ahem'. He survives and once dried off with a good towelling - and yup, he always has a fight with the towel to show it that he IS the boss - things calm down. Until the next session. It's exhausting!!
It was 'worming pill' day on Friday - do you know how far a Havanese can spit a pill he doesn't want to take? It's pretty impressive!
Remember, I've just kicked off a new challenge over in the Snippets Playground HERE.
Hope to see you on the swings - weather permitting.
Love as always, Dudley Dog and me
