Tattered Lace-Florentine Bells

Hi everyone, how are you all today?  Gosh I wish this rain would stop, although it has been a little sunny here in Birmingham this morning it's raining again now.

Well I have been playing today with my new tattered lace dies.  I bought their first magazine which arrived last week and it came with a free die, yes the one I have used on today's card.

It is a beautiful die and I have to admit the magazine is the best mag I have bought in a long time.  Admittedly it is devoted to tattered lace dies but then I expected that.  I only have a few of their dies but it was worth it for me so if you have lots it is a 'must have'.  It is packed full of information, hints, tips and samples.  No advertising which was lovely there was even a tutorial on making ribbon bows with one's fingers.  Something I will be looking at as I am useless at tying bows, even with a bow maker they look awful.  I am looking forward to the next magazine they release and I think they will be monthly.

My card today, as I said it using the Tattered lace Florentine bells and  the Spellinders d-lites corner sprigs. I have used some centura pearl, silver pearlescent and silver mirri, although I will admit the mirri doesn't look silver but gold so my apologies for my photography, david bailey I am not!

It is a really simple card, just some matting and layering, which has been done with the spellbinders 5x7 matting basics A & B sets plus the tattered lace dies and corner sprigs but those dies make it look more difficult that it was to the non crafter.

I never ceases to amaze me what can be done with a bit of card and how relaxing our craft can be.

Hope you like today's card.

See you all soon and do take care.

  7. I bought the magazine as well I love the die that came with it but haven't used it yet. I have quite a few of the Tattered Lace dies and found the ideas for cutting into some of the dies I have very interesting I do like what you have done with the die and I think that sprig die just made it onto my want list :)
