Hi Everybody, Here we are with another Informal Blog Hop and for this month we chose the beautiful new Art Deco dies that have been designed by Stacey Caron. This is the Astoria Collection and I have linked to all three sets for you to view the shapes The card shows the Astoria Decorative Accents for the base card. I have used the Decorative Elements to go with it for the centre panel. The plain Astoria creates the label for the sentiment and the mats underneath from gold mirror card. The tassel under the flowers is also cut from gold. I have had emails asking for some ideas for the Art Deco Collection dies and so tomorrows Tuesday Tutorial will feature them. They are also the subject of Thursdays YouTube video tutorial so I hope you will come back to see both of them My flowers are as always from Wild Orchid Crafts and I have kept them all white to compliment the card. They have been sprinkled with glitter from Glitter Magic and the tiny pearls are from Want2Scrap We started these hops as a way for you to get to know our indivdual styles and to say "Thank You" to all our loyal supporters. so now it's time to pop over and visit the other ambassadors and see what they have to show you.
