I started by cutting the red base card with the S/B Modern Stationery Die. The next layer of design paper was cut with the next size down in the same set.
I then tore the sheet music, shaping it roughly along the lines of the die cut, and placed the die cut scripture over it.
The purple card (from my 'promise box' - I promise to use you someday - that was an "I don't like it" result of an experiment.), was also die cut, and the edges of all the layers were sponged with
Delicata Golden Glitz ink.
Before assembling the card I placed the (recycled) gold bow across the purple layer .
The finishing details were the clear Marianne diamond gems, which are so pretty and reflect the colours around them.

This is a wonderful card Maxine! I love how you have rounded off the opposite corners, it's such a lovely effect and a unique card shape! Beautiful colours and the bling is so elegant!!
ReplyDeleteSo you had asked about if the landscapers use the raked up leaves for mulch and it got me to wondering, so next time I saw them outside and went and asked. Not a single one of the men out there could tell me what happens to the leaves after they dump them! Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it?? Hope you're having a great week Maxine, sending hugs :)
Had a chuckle about your 'promise box' x Such an elegant card. Love that memory box die cut for the double base and the mix of colours and elements are fabulous x
ReplyDeletelovely card and words thanks for sharing with CLC Rachel DT
ReplyDeleteA beautiful way to showcase the lovely verse, fabulous how you combined all the elements with the touches of gold and sparkle!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card, Maxine, the unusual shape is really lovely. Love the name of your 'Promise Box'. I've got a box with these sorts of things in too! 'Promise Box' is a much nicer name than my 'Reject Box'! I think I'll have to rename it, then I might actually use some of it. LOL! xx
ReplyDeleteLovely card!
