I thought I'd already posted this, but I can't find it anywhere, so here it is. It's not very often that I make something entirely with die cuts! It's still not quite finished, I have to decide if it's going to be a Happy Birthday Card or some thing else! I bought the set of dies, by Tattered Lace, from a Crafty Facebook friend who was selling off some of her stash. It has loads of dies, some of which I didn't use, finding, nowhere to put them! but I'm sure they will all be useful for other projects. It needed very thick card, otherwise it would do the splits! So I used a double sided 12x12 card stock with a wooden print on one side and a kind of dark black/grey flowery effect on the other. I touched up the coloured card flowers with Promarkers. I love the flower pots! Also added Glossy Accents to the bunting.
This is the back, but it could well be the front. The bench part of the card has two folds, no, three... which I wasn't sure what to do with, so I just bent one over and stuck it down, so the card stock was even thicker and then added a strip of card underneath so I could slip the end in behind. (I lost you at two folds didn't I?!) If I could've stuck it down it would've been stronger but not postable. Having it so you can unfix the bench and lay it flat means it will fit into an envelope for posting. That's it! Thanks for stopping by. I think I'll go and have a hunt for Anything goes, or flower...
