For this card I used one of the Centre Fold Fancy Card Kraft and the Die'sire Tea Party Create-a-Card Die both of which are the Weekend WOW on Hochanda at the moment.
The papers are from the Downton Abbey 12 x 12" Paper Pad and the flowers are the Die’sire Classiques Delicate Flower Die.
I also used cardstock from the Luxury Cardstock Gold Pack and some Centura Pearl Lavender.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Lemon Shortbread Challenge 27 - Always Anything Goes

Lovely card Pauline, I find larger dies difficult to work with as they need to be the focal point of the card and I prefer to use dies as embellishments, but you've made a great card again.
ReplyDeleteSpectacular card...xx
ReplyDeleteA really elegant card, I love the die cut in gold.

Your card as always is amazing, but can understand your comments, having to work continually with dies does restrict how and what you use to create your cards

This card is fabulous. Minimal and rich in the same time.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to use stamps and to play with papers combinations too ... ehm... also because I haven't a cutter machine ^_^ even if I have a lot a friends that gift me the dye cuts.
Fabulous card Pauline.

this is wonderful Pauline - I bet its been an amazing experience being with CC but I suspect there is a lot of pressure! If the focus is less you its a good idea to step aside. good for you! Big hugs xx
ReplyDeleteFor someone not too into dies you do make great cards with them. These ones are so ornate and make for elegant cards. You sure know how to show them off well.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work Pauline I really love this card, it's gorgeous lovely papers and dies, and repeat a few comments from above for someone not into dies you're doing brilliantly👍

A fantastic card Pauline. I love your choice of colours and paper and what a lovely shape too. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteA fabulous card with lovely papers and perfect construction. I agree with you that colouring in stamps and choosing papers is the most creative part of card making and using dies all the time is like it's cheating. Your card is not cheating though, its beautiful. Xx
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning, luv Sam x
ReplyDeleteWow this is stunning Pauline!

Beautiful, Pauline. I know what you mean about not working with dies a lot. I have a zillion of them and hardly ever use them because I prefer images and coloring.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at CraftyHazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge.

STUNNING card Pauline, we are suckers for the dies aren't we?, but I'm like Margaret, hardly use them.
