More Textured Backgrounds with Die-cuts for Gof7

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!

I 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.

You 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!
