I have a more shabby chic card than usual for the current Moxie Fab Border Challenge that ends tomorrow, but I’m quite happy with it. The challenge asks that you use a border in an innovative way. I usually think of borders as going across the card horizontally or vertically, but in this case running the die cut border diagonally proved to be much more pleasing.
I started with a cream card and die cut the Leaf Border by Lifestyle Crafts from textured cardstock. I decided it needed a dark mat and used my favoriet dotted patterned paper by Bo Bunny. The sentiment is from Just Rite’s “Charmed” die cut with the matching dies from Spellbinders. I distressed the mat with some chalk ink as well as the three Prima flowers. The green ribbon is from my stash.
Love the way you’ve used the die cuts,Karen….it certainly is more interesting like that.
Oh Karen, this is gorgeous! And I love your creative way of using the border! Way to rock the border challenge!
Gorgeous!
The diagonal works great. Would you add a note in one of your posts about what type of adhesive you use for intricate die cuts?
Thanks,
Rinda
