It came out okay but if I make this again, I'll do away with the mounting foam which looks untidy. Instead, I think I'll cut out several sheets of card and glue together to give the depth.
It seemed a shame to have the negative space of the die jut lying there on my table, so I used the scrap to make a second card.

It was lovely to see you yesterday Paul. Great cards - I especially like the 2nd one with the sequins x
Great use of the positive and negative spaces! I know what you mean about foam - I like your solution of layers for dimension. Neater and classier :).
Oh, I love them both!
Love em both. Great cards
Gorgeous as ever, Paul. Not stopping to look at your work - just nipping in to say hello - I have been visiting, just not as often! Hope to see you soon x
These are both gorgeous-I can't choose a favourite :)
HI Paul,
I just started following you and it did not take long to se how really talented you are. You have a great eye for color and design! I would like to encourage you to maybe make some videos of your card making. I look at some of these projects and wish I could "see" more. One question I have is how did you get the stitching around the second card done and so perfectly. It looks like it is debossed, Very well done.
Mary
I love your cards and your style. So happy to have found your blog.
Like both cards but I LOVE the second one! :D BTW, when I want to raise something on my card, I use thin fun foam (1-2 layers, as needed) or usually, I cut several pcs from a clean food box (cereal or other.) They adhere together easily and it's great way to recycle.
Mary - the stitching effect is from a die from L'il Inkers - Stitched rectangles :)
Thanks Gabby - great ideas :)
Great use of both the positive and negative art, Paul! So many times, the negative is considered "waste," when it truly is not! Like both cards!
These are both AWESOME! Love your style, Paul.
Good idea to use the negative and not waste it. In fact, I prefer the second card. Keep experimenting!
Two cards from one die? Well done, Paul!
Oh Ok, Just can't stop scrolling though your blog seeing wonderful after wonderful! The hello frame, just a ray of clean sunshine, I can see that in a model showroom home, or magazine so clean and refreshing!!!!!
