Yellow Roses of Friendship

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How was your weekend? The weather was nice for our walk on Saturday. Today we are meeting friends at Mottisfont a National Trust property with a lovely garden near where we live. Later in the week we are meeting with our daughter and son-in-law and having a walk with them and their dog. It is going to be a busy week. 

I have been using the  Clarity Stamp Fresh Cut die the Art Nouveau Eden Roses Aperture die again. 

I do love the Claritystamp Designer papers. They do seem to work very well with the dies. 

This die is gorgeous. It cuts into the card so you can make the frame any size you want. I put some a double sided sticky sheet onto some Designer paper. The black die cut was attached. Then I cu the die a few more times so I could paper piece the design. The remaining sticky was covered with Microbeads. I feel they add to the stained glass look of the card. 

Here are some of the blooms on our Magnolia tree which is out now in all its glory. 

This is the whole tree. We have lived in our house for over twenty years. This year we found out that you can eat the petals. Who knew? To be honest we haven't tried. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Have a good week. Stay safe and take care.

Art Nouveau Eden Roses - from Clarity Fresh Cut dies

 Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors 

I hope that you had a good day yesterday. I know it is a day that will not have been easy for some for lots of different reasons. This year more than most more of us will have been separated from the ones we love. I must admit I cried when I received a beautiful bunch of flowers from our daughter. Then on the day itself we spent two and half hours on the phone. We really do miss seeing each other. But if we keep being sensible and getting our vaccines there maybe a way out of this. 

On Friday I made a few cards. Here is one of them. 

All this card needed was the Art Nouveau Eden Roses Aperture Clarity Fresh Cut die and some Clarity Designer paper. 

This die is gorgeous and easy to paper piece. I took a piece of pale designer paper and put a double sided sticky sheet over it. I cut a piece of black card to cut the die and leave a frame around in. Once cut I placed the die cut over the sticky sheet. Then I cut the die again in red white and green and stuck the pieces I wanted to the sticky sheet. The rest of the sticky was covered with micro beads. 

I am trying to make a few cards that I think might sell at the Open Studios event in August. Also I don't like buying things that I don't use. This is the first outing for this die. I want to make a card with yellow roses on it. 

Have  a good week. We have a trip to a National Trust property booked which should be nice. 

Happy Crafting
