groovi dt samples - art nouveau border plates - Lawn

Well this is my last card from Barbara's show on 8th February  and our lovely Maria Simms is back on Hochanda tomorrow with lots more groovi goodies to tempt you.

I started with a piece of parchment A5 portrait.  I used one of the corners from the velvet plate in each corner lining it up on top of the nested square to get it even,  I then joined them up with a line from the nested square to form a frame.  I added another elongated square in the middle.

Next I used the flowers from the lawn plate to create a foreground.  Added the lovely lawn behind.  Now she has her had stretched out  so I thought I would create a bannister for her to lean on .  so I used a line from the squares and made a double line across, filling in the gaps with the dotty wave - in my head its like a balustrade !!

Added some hills  then used the sprig to fill in the frame.  

groovi dt samples - rose plate

Hello I am back again with another of the samples from Maria's show on 13th January

I started by using one of the leaves from the rose plate and by rotating it around and around I ended up with a large flower...it was a bit messy in the centre but I knew I was going to put this big dazzler on .  I added a bit of white work and coloured from the back.

I then made  a square with the border plate and added dots from the same plate

I then used the sprig plate to make a background before sticking the flower on top with glue in the middle and covered it with the dazzler

groovi dt samples - frilly circles, sprig and nested octagens

Home from a lovely break and the journey was uneventful.  

A beautiful sunny day but chilly still it was nice and toasty in the car!  You know how I am always saying it rains a lot here ?  well we drove all the way down in lovely weather until we hit Lancashire then the heavens opened and it rained all the way to Preston!!  it fined up a bit but as soon as we parked up and needed to unload the car - down it came again ...

I have had a busy old afternoon finishing off the groovi samples I have been doing whilst away for a groovi workshop next week in Fleetwood  

Any way I thought today I would blog this card from Maria's show on Wednesday 

I started by using  the frilly circle but I just did the outside then I went around one of the octagon lines that looked about right then I did a smaller one and then moved it around you can see from the pic how I did it 

I did a frame to fit around the edge using the lines from the border plates and then added a rope border inside the two sides .  Next came the sprig plate  followed but the line sentiments - without the lines.

Finally I added the flowers but also did some extra so that I could layer them up 

I cut out the flowers, added some white work and some colouring for the leaves.  I pierced around the edge and snipped out but I also used a fine grid to pieced between the octagon frame
