Chinese Lanterns, with embossed background.


Good morning friends and visitors, sharing my DT post from  Poppystamps blog

 I have created  an open card  with  "Hello" sentiment, which you can personalise inside with a greeting.

How delicate are these pretty "Chinese Lanterns" from Poppystamps.  I have placed them onto my embossed background. this is framed with a  frame I found in my bit box.
How I created my embossed background..using "Brilliant Leaf Frame".


Card size 6"x 71.2" I taped this in place..next ran through my die cutting machine! using a silicone/rubber mat you use to emboss your dies.




This is how it came out of my machine. I decided not to add any colour! as I wanted my Chinese Lanterns to be the focal point of the card.




White cut out of these Chinese Lanterns have been adhered as shown, then I then coloured in each cut out using my Pro Marker pens.




Then I cut these again in green card and adhered onto the whit ones on my card.




Next, my bit box frame I added orange detail with a pro marker, adhered flat to make a frame.  Sentiment also by Poppystamps with shadowed green Hello die cut. Foliage "Perfect Pine Needles", hessian bow cut with "Bow and String" die. added some dried foliage from a tree! no idea what though.


Thank you for stopping by Pam xx.

  14. Fantastic! This would absolutely make such a nice winter birthday card, or any winter greeting, actually. I need a December birthday card, and I really need a tan mat. Why, oh why did I give it away when my Grand Calibur broke? What was I thinking?
