A CAS Die Cut Flower

I am doing nicely with my promise 

(to myself)

which means that I am getting out new things that I haven't opened ..yet..

and I am trying them out.

The flower die used on this card was today's 

"get it out and give it a try"

*Sorry, I can't tell you who makes the die..or what the name if the die is...

(I threw away the packaging months ago when I organized my dies)

This is a 2 die set...

an overly...

and an underlay...

(there's a solid black under-lay of card stock beneath the lacy upper die cut)

I created 2 versions of this CAS card...

6 cards total..

2 Mother's Day

and

4 Birthday

Both sentiments were stamped onto the vellum strip with Versamark Ink 

and then heat embossed with Black Fine Detail Embossing Powder

I added Clear Wink of Stella to the flower and the opened leaf

and finished the card with a few scattered sequins.

The Swiss Dots embossed black card stock layer under the flower 

was placed on the wood grain-look print mat layer

with dimensionals for added dimension.

(I love dimension and texture on a card)

Wish you could see the foil on the flower...

and the Swiss dots embossing on the black card stock layer under the flower

(the DCWV paper pad that I used has lots of nice foiled sheets of paper)

Just a few sequins add a little bit of sparkle...

along with the Wink of Stella (clear)

I love the enamel-like look of the black heat embossing on vellum

Just a little bit of sparkle...

that's all that this card needed

I'm glad that I took this die duo out for a test drive...

It's a great focal element for a CAS card

and was nice to work with.
