New dies - TH Wildflowers with brayered backgrounds for my card exchange
I have some new dies!!! DH bought them for me for my birthday and they just came in!! It took a bit of research to decide which ones I would like and I decided on the set with the queen anne's lace silhouette which is the first set of Wildflowers from Tim Holtz. Wanting to experiment I dug through my stash of backgrounds and found these brayered ones (Kaleidacolour in pad) from quite a while back. They worked well. I cut the flowers out (the second one I cut twice -once from the front and once from the back). I added a full black layer to the first one and only backed the flower with black on the second one and backed it with navy blue afterwards. I added black ribbon (ribbon yarn) which my sister shared with me when I was there a few weeks ago. Really nice!! I added a length and then tied on a short piece to simulate a bow. I added texture to the second on using my tracing wheel. I mounted them to coordinating card fronts and then stippled the outside edges with dark blue ink. Happy! Therese
