If you saw my last post, then you know that I have been playing a ton with some of my new goodies from Hero Arts and the Delicates Dies from Papertrey Ink. The most recent kit from Hero Arts is Art Deco in Style which I love so I am still playing with that and other dies I have in my collection. When I first started cardmaking, I couldn't stamp worth a darn, so I made lots of cards with die cuts only. This is definitely a throwback to those days.
Part of the reason I really like Art Deco is that the lines are always so graphic which makes for a super striking look in a card.
The cover die I am using is in the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero Kit for February 2019. With other things I have in my supplies, I could play for weeks with this stuff!
My card project for the Challenge is simple die cutting at it's best for the most part. I did decide to use a technique that Jennifer McGuire shared during that blog hop that you can find at this link.
This card uses Light Blue, Medium Grey, Dark Blue Shimmer Cardstock and of course the gold cardstock that gives all of that shine. The diamond die cuts are from very old QuicKutz dies that I have had for many years with 5 different sizes in the group. I have another card that I will be using them for coming up ad the "hello" die cut is from the Hero Arts Stamp and Cut Hello Set.
Everything here is super simple and all you have to do is the die cutting and assembly. I cut several of each piece I was working with so I could just play with the colors and see what combinations I could come up with. In fact, I will have more cards to share in the coming days. I am enjoying my time playing with these dies, stencils and other products.
Just a short and sweet post for today. I'm still working on getting my links list straightened out but hope to have that done by the end of this coming weekend.
