I have been enjoying going back through the Amazing Paper Grace Dies of the Month and creating with them and it is interesting to see how much I have progressed both with cardmaking and also with taking photographs since these dies came out. Here is my original post when this die set came out. Today I have made a card using the Amazing Paper Grace December 2020 Die of the Month – Rose Garden Promise. I have coloured the roses and leaves with Copic Makers and added some Wink of Stella to the coloured images to create a sparkly stained glass window effect. Of course I had to add some flowers but these could easily be omitted to be able to send easily in the mail.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
For my card I have made a 5″ x 7″ top folding card out of heavy weight white cardstock. I cut a piece of white alcohol marker friendly cardstock 5″ x 7″. I die cut the outline die out of scrap white cardstock and used this as a stencil to colour the roses and leaves with Copic markers. I then added some clear Wink of Stella to the coloured images. I die cut two outline dies out of white cardstock and stacked them together before adding them over the coloured images. I then die cut another die out of gold cardstock and paper pierced the frame to highlight the coloured images.
I die cut three sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace Picture Perfect Window Scene Dies – two from white cardstock and one from gold cardstock. I stacked these together with the gold die on top, cut the sentiment in half and added it to the centre of the frame.
I die cut a flourish out of gold cardstock and adhered it to the top left of the frame. I made some small pink and yellow flowers using the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Dies and added them over the flourish. I die cut small leaves out of green cardstock using the small leaf dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Cherry Blossom dies and added them around the flowers.
To finish the card I added some gold pearls around the sentiment.
