Fun with Foliage!

Hello friends

Today a card that I made this time last year simply because I found
it in a box and thought 'Oh I forgot about this one!' 
It shows a really simple and effective technique
of using your dies as apertures.


I double matted the white card using 5 x 7 Matting Basics,
over a green card base ensuring I mounted it with Crafty Foam Tape.
Foliage die is the central aperture and those 
little flowers are Marisa's Bouquet.



Would work with many colours for the card base but I think 
this vibrant green really sets it off.

Still speed die cutting but getting there.

Tomorrow a little break to go shopping with my boys as we need new outfits for 
one of the book events.  I'm not a fan of clothes shopping 
(give me homeware and craft stuff any day) 
so should be interesting!

Take care friends,

  8. Morning Christine, This is a brilliant technique, one that I haven't done - yet !!
    I hope your shopping 'extravaganza' is fruitful, I echo everyone's sentiments on shopping, I'm not keen either.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
