Happy Friday, everyone!! It's my turn to post on the Die-Versions blog...you can see the post HERE. I am sharing a project with you today using a die from the latest Die-Versions Christmas in July release. As fast as this year is flying by, Christmas will be here before we know it :)
For this card, I used the new Whispers Merry Christmas Script die. Isn't it beautiful!! It's such a fabulous focal point for cards. The papers are from My Mind's Eye Lost and Found Christmas stack. The edges were distressed with a Zutter DIA. The organza ribbon was dyed with Tim Holtz Festive Berries Distress Stain. A Wee Petite Button die was used on the center.
The Whispers Merry Christmas Script die was cut twice, once in black for a shadow and once in grunge board. It was colored with TH Festive Berries Distress Ink. I then applied crackle medium to script for some texture. Once it dried, I added TH Tea Dye Distress Ink in the cracks to make them more visible.
I am entering this in the following challenges:

Lovely and so smart to be ahead of the calendar. I am frantically working on Halloween for a couple of swaps I am participating in. Whew! Creative Holiday Bliss...
ReplyDeleteIndeed, this gorgeous die makes a marvelous focal point, and I love the way you add the shadow behind it. That never seems to work so well when I try. Love it here though. The papers were so pretty with this lovely red sentiment, and the dyed ribbon was such a soft color to go with the brilliant red lettering. Great card. Happy wkend, and TFS. Hugs
ReplyDeleteSuper Christmas card, Lisa! That die is just beautiful. Love what you've done here ♡

ReplyDeleteMy sweetest friend, this is simply stunning! What a spectacular way to showcase the new sentiment die! It is a stunner, isn't it? What a beautiful font and I love the way you've used it. The crackle is lovely. Your papers are gorgeous as ever and the design is so pretty. I've been wanting to do the banner/pennant things lately! :o) The dyed ribbon is a perfectly festive touch. Beautifully done as always, my dear Lisa! I hope your weekend is filled with joyous inspiration. :o)

Absolutely stunning! Lisa, this card is just drop-dead gorgeous! Love the beautiful sentiment and it just POPS with the black layer underneath. You do the distressed look just beautifully my sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful weekend ♥
Beautiful! Beautiful!! The script die is fantastic and I love the texture you created with the crackle. I have a bottle of crackle that I've yet to open, but I just might now. Thanks for the inspiration, Lisa! Enjoy your weekend. :D
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful! Love the crackle texture on the word die and I thought your button die was a real button! Wow - it looks great - I'm going to check out the die! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteLisa, I don't see an email to contact you, so I'll just leave an Outlander comment here! I am so thrilled to find another lover of these books. I've been hooked since I read the first one (Dragonfly! - out of sequence). I was so concerned that even with DG as consultant - that the movie would not stay true to the storyline. I do realize that of course it cannot be exactly the same, words don't translate to video always. But I think the company has done an excellent job: from casting, to the scripts and I have watched the ep two times. And going downstairs to watch tonight's premier. Our cable provider had a sneak showing last week, and I got it on my DVR. I did it from On Demand, but then I searched all the Starz channels to find out which specific channel has it, so that I can also record to the DVR! Her MOBY (#8) is also extremely well done...I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Saved it for about a month as we planned to go to Fla. Then plans had to be postponed, so I went ahead & read it. I had intended to read it while at the daughter's, sitting outside and watching the boats go by! If you haven't bought that yet, oh you must!!! You have some great entertainment waiting on you. Will be interested in hearing your feedback! Hugs
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Christmas card.I have that paper pad hanging around!!Love the distressed edges on the paper and bow!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card...love the red and the pink ribbon just makes it pop!! What a beautiful die and as always you went over and beyond the top not only cutting a shadow and then using the grunge board to crackle...stunning!! We are home from vacation...lots to catch up on...hope you are having a wonderful day!!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Lisa! The sentiment really stands out beautifully! Love the sparkle!
ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteAlways beautiful creations found here. So loving this!

Lisa, I am sure it will be on dvd. Also I think Starz is showing it again many times this week. If you could please send me your email address I may have a suggestion for you. I have moderate comments on, so no one but myself will see your info. Sorry you missed the show, but don't despair! Hugs
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Lisa! I LOVE the crackled word art!! Such a fabulous look!
ReplyDeleteI'm a little disappointed about the reminder that Christmas will be here before we know it. I want summer to last forever! Good for you getting a head start before the busyness of the season hits - and what a BEAUTIFUL start you've made with your stunning card!
Wow Lisa! Your card is beautiful! Love the crackled detail on the sentiment!
ReplyDeleteI always learn so much from you since you use so many techniques. I looked at the Zutter Distresser but didn't get it. After seeing your beautiful project I am going back to look at it again. Do you think it makes a big difference? Easy to use?
ReplyDeleteStunning Christmas Card. Love it.
ReplyDeleteAs always Lisa, this is gorgeous! I love, love the texture in the letters and the pretty bow!
ReplyDeletebeautiful Christmas card my friend. hugs
ReplyDeleteGoodness! This is gorgeous! And I LOVE the effect with the crackle paint...:)
