Shadow Framed Project

Hello everyone, today I wanted to share a special off the page project, created with one of the Couture Creations  "Modern Essentials" Cut, foil and emboss die frames, in particular the Nesting Bracket frames CO726459. Using this nesting frame to create a special effect of illusion of a shadow box frame.

These dies can be used with the Go Press and Foil Machine to achieve the foiled edges around the shape, but they can also be used in your normal manual die cutting machine. For my project, once I cut the dies out I inked around the edges of the left overs from the nesting dies - then layered them on top of
each other. This creates a shadow effect illusion. 

I have set my project inside a simple white frame - I hope you like...
I then foiled some of the foliages with the 
Lavish Ballroom collection  "Sweeping Botanicals" CO725909 and
Lavish Ballroom "Young Stems" CO725904
Adding some diecut flowers from the C'est Le Vie collection...
Using another cut and foil die the 
Nouveau Cut, Foil "Hanging Cage" CO725846, 
this time I just inked the die with an ink pad and ran it through the die cutting machine.

Bird in Cage Project

Hi there everyone
Today it is my turn on the blog and I have created another "Off the page" project with the new release
"C'EST LA VIE" from Couture Creations.
I have created a project using an embroidery hoop together with some of the dies and chipboard pieces from the "C'est La vie" collection.  Adding some touches of foiling on the chipboards, which are of course are created with the fabulous "Go, Press and Foil" machine.

I just love this machine and how amazing it is!!!   :)


Here is my Bird in Cage Off the Page project.




I purchased an embroidery hoop from a craft store and covered it 
with natural Hessian. Pulling the hessian very tightly around the edges and securing it with the attached fastener on the side.

Using the C'est La Vie Interwined Stencil CO725773 
and
Anna Griffin Embossing Paste CO724870 
I created a background on the stretched Hessian.
Gently added some white glitter over the Embossing paste and letting it dry completely.




Using the fabulous Go Press & Foil CO725032 machine together with Gold & Midnight Black coloured foils, I foiled the following chipboards.
I think they look fabulous on the project, just a touch of gold foiling!

C'est La Vie Framed Roses chipboard CO725920
C'est la Vie Word chipboard CO725917
Couture Creations - Hanging Cages CO725871
Couture Creations - Mini Butterflies chipboards CO725899




I also cut some various fern leaves from the

C'est La Vie - Fern Leaves - decorative die CO725764
to create a cluster of flowers and leaves on the bottom left hand side.

I hope you have enjoyed my project for today.
Thanks and big hugs
