OLD WORLD DESIGNS

The journey of creating begins with a spark from deep within. The artist continues on the loom of life and throughout time a beautiful tapestry takes shape and form from the luscious fibres, brilliant gems and precious pearls we encounter along the way....

Grand Nestie Card





Hello Blogging Friends...
I'm posting another card tonight that I made a couple of months ago featuring a Grand Nestie that I used as the card base.  The shape of this Grand Nestability Labels Four is classic and it can be easily made using the Grand Calibur (email Deb for a great price on this machine and dies) and the largest of the dies in the nested set!  I placed the die strategically onto the folded cardstock so that the top side of the card will utilize the fold in the cardstock.  The Grand Nestabilities are amazing and can be used for cards, for journalling tags on layouts or wonderful layering shapes for matting underneath pictures on layouts.  So many wonderful uses... love, love, love them.   On the inside of the card, I cut the next size down from the largest die and ink distressed it and now it is ready for a stamped or printed verse.  This is a friendship card and the stamped sentiment is a Waltzingmouse stamp - not available in Canada :(   but the grand nesties are available at my favourite LSS ( click on link above and email Deb for more information) I also used Spellbinders Fleurs De Lis pendant, some Prima flowers and Prima Flourish bling and pearls.  Inside is an open slate and can be dressed up and personalized for that special friend who needs cheering up.  Stay tuned for more projects...
