Hi everyone. Another card for November's Group of Seven technique - Textured Backgrounds with Die-cuts.
This was a very quick and easy card to make. I used the Pine Branches dies from Gina Marie Designs (gift from a friend) to cut out multiples of two different branches from white card stock. I then arranged them on my front card panel, making sure some of the branches went off the edge. I glued them in place and cut off the excess.
To finish, I die-cut another from one of the branches from green foil card stock, I glued it to my card front over top of the background die-cuts. To finish, I popped up a silver foiled sentiment (gift from a sweet friend). Simple and elegant card! :)
Sending this card to the Simply Clean & Simple December 2024

I must remember to try this because it has some a wonderful impact with the stacked dies creating the background. The card is beautiful and looks so fun to do too!
ReplyDeleteOh My...Such a simply Beautiful die cut Christmas Card, Loll:-) I LOVE your die cut background textured background and wonderful memory, my friend. Love and Big Hugs...You have me inspired, Lolly:-)
ReplyDeleteI love the airiness of the one branch, Loll. Those dies work great for the technique. I actually went to Gina Marie's house and purchased dies from her a number of years ago.
ReplyDeleteYou said it yourself: this card is simple and elegant! That branch is perfect for the technique, and the green foil is wonderful. Pinning this to see if I can CASE it with one of my dies!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Loll. The technique of making a textured background using die cuts is so effective.

ReplyDeleteLove the way you did the white on white background and then used one of the same dies to create the green branch to give a focal image and contrast.
ReplyDeleteGosh, it's so elegant and gorgeous, and one might think simple, but I know it took time to cut and glue all those skinny sprigs. The result is truly wonderful, Loll!
