Less is More - Die's or Punches
Hi everyone, this is just a quickie this morning before me and Oli head out. I wanted to get my Less is More card up to show you. This weeks theme is to use dies or punches, here is my take on it...
The die is a spellbinders one called Ironwork Motif, which I bought just before Christmas but never used. I used the main die and cut it out twice. I give them a dusting of light pink chalk, curled them and stuck them with foam pads to give them some dimension and then added the seed pearls with glossy accents and attached a lovely shocking pink ribbon.
I am really pleased with how its turned out, however they are not the easiest things to use as the card gets really stuck in the die and as its so fragile it took me a few attempts without ripping them.

ReplyDeleteWow Jo this looks fantabulous! So elegant. I rub a tumble dryer sheet over fragile dies before I put them through the machine and it makes them come away easier. Hope this helps :)
