Celtic Dreams Cutting Dies & Dylusions

Good morning, Kirsten here. Happy Monday & happy April. The theme for this month on the blog is Celtic Dreams metal cutting dies from Lavinia Stamps/Imagination Crafts & Dylusions paints. There are a lot of photos in this post, so without further ado............

The Celtic Dreams dies make such beautiful focal images that for most of my projects I concentrated on the backgrounds. For this card I used the Fleur die...........

The first step for this card was applying Squeezed Orange & Lemon Zest Dylusions with a mini blending tool & foam over a piece of Super Smooth white card, then placing the
Craft Emotions' Background Floral stencil on top.............

I then used a clean, damp baby wipe through the stencil to remove the paint, moving to a clean piece of the baby wipe each time..............

I gave the card a quick dry with my heat tool, then applied Lemon Zest on to the Squeezed Orange areas through the Imagination Crafts' Mosaic Crackle stencil...............

...........and Squeezed Orange on to the Lemon Zest areas though the TCW Circle Explosion stencil...........

Then Bubblegum Pink Dylusions through the TCW Tiny Circles stencil............

 Next, I decided which part of the background I wanted to be seen through the die cut & marked the outline & the wings with a pencil.............

I painted the area of the wings with Red Starlights........

I die cut the Fleur die from white card, black card & a scrap that I painted with Bubblegum Pink Dylusions. When I glued the black piece to the white, I made sure it was offset by just a fraction, to give a little more dimension...............

I adhered everything to the background, cut around the outside & attached the topper to card I'd previously painted with the same colours of Dylusions, matted all the layers onto black card, then onto a 6x6 white card blank.................

I created a second card with a similar background, using Crushed Grape, London Blue & White Linen Dylusions & cutting the die from black card & card painted with Amethyst Starlights..............

                        

***The majority of the Dylusions paints sold out at the class, but Lisa will ordering more.***

The website will be updated today with the stock remaining from last Friday's classes & I will add links to this post afterwards. 

Thank you for visiting the blog today. Lisa will be here on Wednesday with some of her class projects & I'll be back next Monday.
