One of a Kind

Hello friends, today I am sharing a card using some of Spellbinders Matting Basics to created a frame for these gorgeous feathers - also Spellbinders.  I am a great fan of the Matting Basics, they help in a number of ways - first of all - uneven cards and secondly they make layering so easy and these are only two of the great things about them!


I have used the A-2 Matting Basics B Card Creator Etched Dies with the frame being created by using #6 and #7 Dies (#1 being the smallest)  The smaller die has been placed inside the larger die and they are secured using repositional tape, then cut,embossed using the the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine - 6" and some of the Lovely Layers patterned paper by Anna Griffin inc.

The sentiment is from Kaisercraft and stamped using Imagine Memento Ink in Rhubarb Stalk (one of my favourite reds)  The Shapeabilities Feathers Etched Dies have been cut using scraps from my stash and then lightly sanded using a sanding block.  I have also used   Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares and E-Z Adhesive Runner.

  2. Linda, your card is beautiful! It looks to me like you wrapped the papers around to the back on your interiors of your frame, as one would in framed art, but I know you did not. (solid white inner wall on interior frame.) Your choices of paper is fab! Its so beautifully-done! You have inspired me to get out my Nestabilities and use them! And maybe pick up the B set!
