Good morning friends~ A while back my card made the Top Cut at the Cut It Up Challenge, so I'm honored to have a guest spot designing for them in today's challenge to make a "Shaped Card".
I used Nested Keyplate Etched dies from Say It With Stamps to make the shaped card. I thought the keyplate design was a little bit unique and the fact that it is a layered set, gave me lots of opportunity to use up some printed paper. The brown inside frame was actually cut from the same pale yellow cardstock I used for the flowers, but I sponged over it with Walnut Stain Distress Ink. I triple layered the outside frame and the inner frame to give it some dimension.
The printed papers are from a set called Floral Whispers from Asuka Studio. The water colored florals in this set are truly stunning. I added a couple of flowers made using Layered Colorful Blooms from Spellbinders. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink, and it is stamped on a banner from Elizabeth Craft Designs.
A Layered Butterfly sticker from Spellbinders has landed herself on the bottom of this pretty card. I think this card turned out quite nice!
Thanks so much to all the designers at Cut It Up Challenge for allowing me to take part in this design challenge with them.
I'll be adding this card to the following challenges:

ReplyDeleteLove your shaped card; nicely designed with great paper, flowers and dies. Thank you for joining us at Cut it Up as a guest designer.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card, Birgit. Love the shape and the lovely papers you used for your mats. Thank you so much for visiting my blog. You're not the only one that is playing catch up :-) Life took over the last couple of weeks between some health issues and looking after my little grandchildren, time flew by and my crafty time became non - existent. But hopefully life is back on track :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful day.

This is so beautiful!! I LOVE the shape of the dies you used and how you die cut patterned paper with them. It's subtle, but adds the perfect amount of interest! And those die cut flowers are just gorgeous! I'm so glad you were able to be our guest designer for the challenge at Cut It UP Challenge.
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous Birgit! The Keyplate shape is really unique. You've used a great mix of different mfgs. on this beautiful creation. The soft yellow flowers have so much depth and texture. I am always in favor of seeing yellow...it's a happy color. Lots of pretty papers and I love the walnut stained layer that really adds to the interest of the design. Congratulations on your guest spot at CIU. Thanks for sharing you inspiration with A Cut Above's September Challenge.
ReplyDeleteWow, your card is gorgeous. Thanks for being our guest designer at Cut It Up.
