Good morning campers......Hi De Hi !!!
Hope you are all well and had a nice weekend, especially those of you lucky enough to still have your Dad's with you.
Sadly, my Dad isn't so it was a trip to the cemetery yesterday. We decided to renew the edging around the grave and refresh the top with new decorative stone. It was busy up there due to Father's Day so you can imagine the odd looks we got as we got out of the car with a spade and black bags.Thankfully as it was a bit warmer, we didn't take the balaclavas.
Kate said it was probably reminiscent of Burke and Hare but I didn't know who they were lol!!!
Now, back to the card. This is another of the samples I made for John's last shows. Thank you for your kind comments on the samples and my "guest appearance" lol!!!
I don't do many shaped cards but this was the first card that I made with this die.
Ingredients
Cream card and various shades of pink and purple card
JND Gerbera Pop Out Circles dies
JND Sentiment die
CE Aztec Flowers embossing folder
Teeny gems
This is how I got the gradation of colour behind the pop outs.
I then cut the centre out too and glued it behind the pop ups.
Something different anyhoo.
Myra and Littlelamb, it is wonderful to make lifelong friends through crafting but sadly you have also been affected by Maureen's stalking tendencies.
June F, that wasn't Molly yawning. She was laughing in a sinister, almost maniacal way.
Molly doesn't do catnip but Lily got quite excited by the idea.............
Finally, Wendywoo, I wasn't at the studio, just at home on the phone. I don't think they dare risk my appearance on camera in case everyone switches over to Create and Craft lol!!!
Have a great week folks.
TTFN

Great card Ang I have only ever done one “circular” card I added a sentiment and when I tried to stand it up it kept wobbling to the wrong position so turned it into an easel card! I’ve learned now to slice a slither off the back piece I’m such a numbskull at times!
ReplyDeleteNow, I know you and you certainly wouldn’t send people running for the remote control to change to Create and Craft So maybe next time we could see you in front of the camera
Hi Ang this is a stunning card it just looks fabulous. That die is gorgeous. I love seeing your makes. Have a great week. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteSorry I must have misread.
ReplyDeleteLove these Gerbera dies and your card is lovely as per. xxx
Beautifully designed card Ang, it's a lovely die and I love the graduation of colour you've given it.
ReplyDeletePretty Lily, poses so well, Kate x
Hi Mrs D, Love the card, and the colour gradient idea is very clever,but then no more than I would expect from you !!! Glad to see Lily posing for camera.Stay well,take care Lots of Love

Sorry should read something new to try!! X
ReplyDeleteA lovely card Ang and good you have shown us in such detail how to make it. Thank you. Maureen is lovely really. 3a
ReplyDeleteWe certainly wouldn’t be turning to Create and Craft if you were on with John.
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Ang. I like the way you got the graduated colour.
ReplyDeleteTake care.

Hello Ang,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to get colour behind the flowers, it's genius and the card is beautiful.
I laughed at Myra's comment, she can be incredibly funny at times - but not very often ha ha.
Littlelamb, the cheque is in the post.
Hope you are keeping well Ang, Lily looks like a sweet gentle thing, at least that's what I've been telling the rest of the Warts!!!
love Maureen xx
Hi Ang, what a fab idea for creating the graduated colour background, and the card is lovely. Thanks for another entertaining blog post. Take care all. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi Ang, a great card to show another way of using the die and the colour graduation is a very clever idea. Love from Jackie xx
ReplyDeleteYou’ve made some beautiful samples for John.

Hi Ang.Lovely card. Wendy
ReplyDeleteLove the round card Ang! Cool how you got the color behind the flowers and I doubt anyone would switch to Create and Craft if you appeared on John's show! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteMorning Ang, sorry I have missed a couple of posts but I have been in Devon for a week, glorious place. so I must catch up on your blog comments.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful sample, and such a lovely die set too, mine arrived the day before I went on holiday so I will hopefully get a chance to have a play this week.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
I thought you idea of doing the multi-colored background was ingenious.
ReplyDeleteI agree. That was no laugh coming from Molly. She looks ready to attack!
