Blossom Fan

Hi everyone!  Today's card uses one of the brand new In'spire line of dies called Blossom Fan.  I think this fan has a lovely design -I love the roses!

 

 Here's what the die looks like:

My card measures 41/4" square and on the fan die cut, I sponged Versamark ink into the raised "fan pieces" for added depth and embossed some silver foil into the opening details.  Here is a picture showing how I did it.  I ended up using red for my card, but my first attempt was in pink.  You can see I trimmed the foil, glued it down on the back side and then embossed it, pushing the foil through the openings.  Kinda cool!

I used my Classic Squares LG to make a black frame and popped it up with dimensions over a Scalloped Squares frame of wood grain paper.  I glued the sentiment across the corner.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  Here is a close up picture.

Pretty Petals card, part 2

Hi Everyone!  Welcome to my second post using the new Flower dies from the Pretty Petals die series.  This card uses Pretty Petals C, which is a set of 4 dies.  You can find them all in the "What's New" section on Spellbinders site and are on pre-order.  These sets are small and have a price of $10.

 See the leaves on the stem?  They are the negative pieces from the 1/2 daisy bloom!  Yep, I die cut it in olive and used the negative pieces for the leaves.  Double duty -love it!  I hand cut the stem.

 

This card was also made as a sample for Spellbinders to demonstrate these dies on the UK shopping channel called Craft and Create (kinda like our HSN).  Here is what the die set looks like:
