A bit of old England

Here is another card which I have made using one of the Creafters Companion "create a card" dies which are such beautiful designs but I think this one is my favourite. They are still featuring on Hochanda today although there have been a lot of sell outs so if you can not find what you want take a look at the Crafters Companion web site.

 

what was used:

Crafters Companion, Die`sir, Create a Card, Scenic Village dies

Crafters Companion, Floral Delights, Preetty Petals die

Crafters Companion, Die`sire, Create a Card, Beautiful Borders die

Crafters Companion 12" x 12" Shabby Chic paper pad

Joy Crafts leaf die

15cm x 17.5cm off white base card

yellow marl paper

cream linen card

craft card

ream 210gsm print paper

sentiment made using Serif Craft Artist graphics program

Tim Holtz distress inks - vintage photo, broken china, stormy sky, peeled paint

2 x cram mulberry paper flowers

 

A fairly easy to make card to make, the border frame takes a bit of time to line up and cut out but not at all difficult.

 

I cut the border frame from the marl paper and then cut the village scene die image into the marl paper. Using the vintage photo distress ink lightly sponge over the die cut.

 

Cut the scenic village from cram card and then sponge in the clouds. Loosely attach the sky background to the village scene foreground. Stick this topper onto the shabby chic pre coloured paper.

 

Mat and layer up the card and add embellishments and the sentiment.
