Deco Geometric Damask Cameo Frames

Good morning,  where has our lovely weather gone :(  seems like we can get so much more done when the weather is nice.  After a busy weekend again,  I looked over my blog this morning only to find that a lot of my photo's have 'disappeared' yet again without me even deleting or moving anything from my computer.  That's another job for the list so if you need them they will be restored probably this evening.  Anyway, here's another card I made with the most recent dies released by Tonic Studios.  I made my own 8" x 8" cream card blank and layered with some monochrome damask paper and some pages from my beloved Pride and Prejudice book that I tore up for an earlier card (see post here http://craftydivacards.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/pride-and-prejudice-and-entwining.html )  I covered the join with the Simplicity Victorian Border Punch and softly inked the edges of these pieces with my ink duster brush and an antique linen distress ink pad.

I cut the Deco Geometric shape in three sizes in cream, black and cream again.  The largest I stuck straight to the prepared card front and the other two I stuck together before using a smaller die to cut out the centre, I again inked this lightly as before to match.  It was possible to go through the two layers as they were both fairly thin.  I cut the Rococo Charlotte Cameo in black and added this to the cream base, placing foam pads on the back of the die cut cream and black frame and layering this centrally on top.

The Just For You was cut from the Pansy Topper Die Set and layered onto one of the smaller Deco shapes before being inked and stuck to the card with 3d foam pads.

The card was finished with a large black hand tied bow and some Ebony Black Nuvo Crystal Drops.

I hope you like it,
