sadly I have not had much time
for card making this last few weeks and its taken me nearly two weeks to get
this far and finally make another card! …Still one more card to complete
before I decide which one to use for Hubbies birthday, I coloured the
stamp well over two weeks ago…overall I'm pleased
with the card although realised afterwards that rounding the corners
was not a good idea after you've layered the papers; I should have
done this before hand but didn't think about it, so its not perfect
but we learn. It’s a z-fold card I think that’s right and my first one.. I like
it…my only other niggle is I wish now I had layered the stamp
with card but had decided to edge with my Copics but it bled, not sure why as
it is the usual card I used for colouring with, so not quite the finish I had
in mind… not to worry I did the same effect with the roses to bring it together
a bit.
Happy Birthday
Overall I like the design and layout… I'm really enjoying using my birthday pressies; the
glass cutting mat makes life so much easier and I love my Grand Calibur;
although having a problem with some Joy dies I have which are red and are
leaving die on my white pearl card once cut…not a good look for snowflakes!…any
suggestions on how to either stop it happening or get any excess paint of the
dies would be gratefully received have a wonderful week
, I'm busy this week again so I don’t suspect I’ll get much card
making;-(((…hopefully will manage another post
though .hugs x

Hi Andrea
ReplyDeleteWoW, absolutely gorgeous card! I absolutely LOVE it!!! Love the papers and the colour tone of them...GORGEOUS! The image is just a sweetheart and super adorable, coloured in perfectly.
Now onto your dilemma with dies! I have found myself having the same problem. After I use certain dies, especially the Joy! ones, it leaves a residue, in my case green. What I do after it comes out of the die and I see my white card marked... I take a little paintbrush ( for painting normal walls in my case )and brush it off with it and it falls off and the card is clean. I hope that helps.
