This week's CD Sunday Challenge is...Die Cutting
As I missed last weeks challenge (Oriental) I've made a card using both topics!
The main image and paper are from Joanna Sheen's Oriental Dreams.
The die cut is one of my new Cut-Outs...Corner Diamond 1. I cut it from black card, scanned the diamond part into computer and created a template from it. I then imported the CD image and placed the template ( making it a bit smaller) over it, adjusting the size until it 'looked right'.
The corners were put through a cuttlebug Eastern embossing folder. I then sponged the four corners with Glacier Blue Opalite ink and embossed with several layers of clear powder to create the lacquered effect. The pieces were layered over the paper and mounted on to the card.
Embellished with gems and pearls.
This is just stunning! I love everything about it. The colour, the embossing, the image and that fab die cut diamond frame. Amazing card :o)
