Do you have stash that you had to have but hardly use? This Mixed Media Thinlet set by Tim Holtz is one of them, I just don't know how to use these corners in a way that feels natural and actually "adds" something to the card/tag/page.
Recently I saw some makes that gave me the idea I used to create today's card with one of the corner dies as iron gates (distressed gates...) and a lovely Lost Coast Design stamp (Winged Girl NS).

The background is a Gelli print. I coloured the lady with pencils and embossed the die-cuts with Aged Aqua Frantage, adding some Aged Copper here and there .
I hope you like it!

Cool way to use those die cuts. Makes a really interesting feature and I love Winged Girl, of course. Beautiful colours and design. Thanks for joining the fun at the Lost Coast Portal to Creativity. Hugz
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how we all view products in a different way, I have that Timmy corner set and use it no end but always within my main piece, have never thought about using it as you have. But using with the image you have created a really ethereal feel and it's just lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing and joining in with our first theme at We Love Chocolate Baroque challenge.

I love how you used the TH die - it looks so good with your beautiful image. I've only ever used it as an inlay to a background. Thanks for sharing with us at The We Love Chocolate Baroque challenge.

Such a pretty stamp and love how you have colored it. I have that same die cut and never thought of using it this way - I am going to try it! Thanks for joining the Lost Coast Design Challenge!
ReplyDeleteAh mais c'est super joli et astucieux en effet !!!!
ReplyDeleteQuelle belle idée. Et cela met en valeur ce magnifique tampon.
Bravo Christine, j'adore toujours autant ce que tu fais... notamment la manière dont tu exploites ou redécouvres ton ancien matériel, c'est top. Moi j'ai souvent du mal :D
Bon dimanche, bises

Wow, such a beautiful card! I love your design and how the gates open up to reveal the pretty fairy - just gorgeous 😁. Take care and wishing you a happy new week! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteYou're just showing this stash to make me feel guilty aren't you, naughty girl Lol! I do have this die and did use it a lot but not in this way but I have to say I think it works brilliantly. Sending hugs my Crafty friend. Angela xXx

She is really beautiful - and I love that she's protected by those wonderful "wrought iron" gates. Clever idea and it looks so good.
