Gorgeous Garden flowers

 As promised, here’s the floral die in the Gorgeous Garden set.

This time the background is a Designer Series Paper.

This is also my first tip…

It’s a full background die, but my cutting machine is getting very old, like me 😂

and it didn’t cut the whole piece properly.

Instead of discarding it, I added an oval die cut topper, which hides the flaw.

It gives your die a different look.

I also used the waste from another die cut for the white stamens,

another tip I found.

I added a few sentiments to finish.

Catch you later for my third version…..

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.

Gorgeous Garden leaves

There’s a die set in the annual SU catalogue that I overlooked until I saw someone use it.

There are two background dies, one with leaves and one with flowers.

The detail is as the name suggests, Gorgeous Garden.

Loved make the background on this, with Blending brushes.

With the offcuts I die cut some leaves that emboss detail at the same time.

Added my favourite tiny tag, and a twine bow

 

Come back tomorrow for the floral version and a couple of tips!

Meantime I’m popping over to NBUS , a place that encourages you to use your never before used stash,

as it’s the first time I’ve used this die set.

Thanks for stopping by, I really appreciate your visits and comments.
