Diamond Point and Daisies

 Morning and it's time for a new No Rectangles/ATG challenge at A Place to Start. I made my favourite Diamond Point card shape, one of the Woodware images from a new stamp set free with the Creative Stamping magazine -purchased after I saw some of the images on Paulines blog. I stamped the image and coloured with my  Helens new Kalour pencils, I then embossed with long forgotten Ranger Ultra thick embossing powder to make it look framed. Spellbinders die-cut frame, ribbon from stash and papers from Crafters Companion. Really pleased how this turned out.




Please note if any challenges have digi images for prizes I am just playing for fun and support as I don't have a printer

Wow Carol your card is so beautiful and so unique. Really like the shape and the stamped image. Thank you for visiting my blog, as soon as you mentioned a tape recorder a flood of memories came to me. I also taped music on one and had forgot all about it. I never could understand how a tape recorder worked. It was really an awesome invention. Hope you have a wonderful day!

A beautiful card Carol and love this diamond point design too. The embossed topper has really transformed it into a striking frame and your papers are pretty too - Michelle x

Lisa said...

Layering your beautifully colored Woodware image inside the glossy embossed frame gives the diamond point fold such an elegant focal point, and the mix of soft florals, ribbon and patterned papers creates a warm summery look that suits the shape perfectly.

Darlene said...

I love that WW stamp used it many times along the way, that die cut SP frame again is the perfect backdrop, the UTEE really is the icing on the cake. What an amazing shaped card wish I could get my head around making cards like this but I am not a measurement girl hee hee.. Beautiful with it's envelope Carol.
Take care Hugs Tracey x

What a fantastic card! I love this "Diamond Point" card shape. It looks so unique and gives the card that special touch. The wonderful patterned paper harmonizes perfectly with the cute floral motif. The coloring is lovely and the frame is simply great—it looks fantastic and suits the motif perfectly. The beautiful bow rounds everything off wonderfully.
Thank you so much for sharing your brilliant card in the current "Everybody Art Challenge."
