Fair Dames duo

Good morning and welcome to the blog today.

I'm finishing off my samples from the Fair Dames collection with Elegant Emma and Graceful Harriet today.

The first card uses the die as simply as it can be used and the second brings the flavour of Christmas. These very feminine dies lend themselves to all manner of occasions.

Fair Dames - Elegant Emma

Good morning and welcome to the blog today.

We have a new launch at 6.00pm on Hochanda of the Tonic Studios 'Fair Dames' die collection.

There are three in the set and today I'm sharing a card I made using Elegant Emma. 

The beauty of these dies is that the central character can be simply cut out of the frame and used separately or decoupaged onto your project. 

Fans of paper piecing will be in their element!

I've used the Swirling Frame layering dies for the mats and layers

Lace Border die - Ada

Pale Gold Crystal drops 

Craft Perfect card stock - Jet Black, Ivory and Cherry Red

The roses have been made using Bellus Buttercup flower dies from the Entwining Trellis die set

Foliage is from the Shadow Box main die set

I've added a little touch of colour with Indian Gold Embellishment mousse and finished off with a few tiny flowers from my stash. 

Check out Tonic's blog where there are links to all the Social Media sites and the DT blogs for loads more inspiration. 

Have a great week and happy crafting.
