Chrissie and Mandi at LIM have set a new challenge for this week and it's to
Cut It Out
For this we would like to see some kind of hole or aperture in your card!
Sooo I made a card or two
I got a new die and wanted to play it's a Sizzix Bigz and it's pretty big but I love the ornate shape, here I just popped a flower over the sentiment to see what it would look like, I think I prefer the words!
This die looks a little like a clock. That may be another option methinks LOL
Here you can see the embossing that's a Tim Holtz Texture Fade.
I've kept the cards as clean and simple as possible and there's no stamping or inking other than the sentiments. Too clean? Could be!

I hope you have had a good weekend and thanks for stopping by, Gay x

Looks fab in the black and green but GLORIOUS in the black and white - so elegant

These are gorgeous Gay,love that die,I must say I am drawn to the geen and gold one.xxx
Hi Gay, WOW lurve these cards, I have to say that as green is one of my favourite colours it has to be the green for me, the embossing is fab too.
WOW - they're all fab. Like you though, I prefer the WORDS in the middle of the aperture. Love black and green!
Made a card for this week's LIM, but threw it in the bin . . .

Wow Gay that's an amazing frame, love both cards! The green and black is so unusual and the embossing folder makes it look like ferns, I think it's my favourite:) Would make a great mirror as well.
Hope you've had a good weekend:)

Ooh, this is a super die Gay. I do prefer the sentiment ones but they're all fab. xx
Loving the embossing on the frame - the texture adds so much to it giving it an elegance :-)
Wow, this is beautiful Gay. Love the die shape. The green card is stunning. Great job!

Really like the plain sentiment one, it reminds me of the silloette pictures that you sometimes see in that sort of frame. Like the texture fade too.EE
This is stunning Gay - I agree with you - the sentiment is perfect with this ornate frame, and what a gorgeously classy frame it is. The green embossed one is amazing!
Hugs, Sylvia xx

Hi Gay.
Just been having a lovely catch up. Your H20 flowers are gorgeous and I love this new die, it looks fantastic doesn't it, especially the embossed green one.
Sorry to hear you've been suffering, hope things are improving now although not having to do housework sounds like good compensation!!
Hugs Lisax
WOW!! The black and green version is FABULOUS!! I love the idea of a clock too and think it would look brilliant.
