It was a busy week this week - we made two cards!
I love the die of the woman and it's one where you can use the positive and negative space, so it just had to be two cards.
This one uses the negative space, so it did involve not losing some pretty small pieces so they could be slotted backing the die-cut once it was mounted on black card. I went for a separate frame with a cream pearlescent backing raised up on pads, but most people put the frame straight on the image panel which looked great.
One thing about this die is that it doesn't cut out the rose; it just leaves an embossed shape which is not too attractive, (or, worse, a large hole in the negative space). We covered all this up with a die cut flower - luckily I found some dies to fit.
After the art deco style of the first, I decided on a softer look and got to use my new favourite paper pad, Sweet Paris by Trimcraft.
This uses the positive die-cut which we just mounted on kraft card. There's quite a lot of die cutting and the roses had to be inked, so a bit more work.
Happy crafting
