Border Dies from Altenew.

I bought some new dies by Altenew from my local online store (Krafters Cart) and had some fun playing with a few of them

First up:

This die is called Floral In'N'Out border die.   It is very intricate die.  I die cut some white card and then layered it onto some black card.  The Bold Thanks die was cut from black card with a little surgery to chop of the S.  The shadow layer was cut with some vellum/  The little you is from Simon Says Stamp.  A few pearls and I called it finished.

Second Card

For this card I used the Leafy Border Die.  It cuts the die and leaves the top and bottom connected.  I used a piece of background I had created with some yellow and grey inks and a swiping technique.  I use some of the same background to create the Thanks letters and used some black card for the shadow and the mat around my card.  I added a little sub sentiment from Sentiment Stripes.  I added some 3D liquid drops to finish.

Third card

I used the Floral In'N'Out die again this time with some Altenew striped paper.  I back it with some blue card.  I stamped a happy birthday sentiment and some pearls.  Again a nice and simple card but looking very elegant with this die.

I really had fun making these cards.  I also got the large Circle Hello Die which I still have to use. 

Thanks for stopping by today.  Hope your weekend is going well.  I had a great weekend with a trip north to our friends and a visit to see Grace on our way home.  She is growing so quickly now and I am starting to be able to understand some of her words.  Not bad for 14 months old.
