Video Friday | Swirl Frame Cards with Olga

Hi, it's Olga , today I am super excited to share 2 cards that I have created using Swirl Frame die from the latest On the Wings of Love collection by Joanne Fink . This die is perfect for creating framed cards and it can be both landscape or portrait oriented:

The first card I've made is portrait oriented. I created a shaped frame card base first and then added an embossed insert. For the focal image I have used a tulip die that is also a part of the Swirl Frame set . The die cuts are colored with Distress Inks and the gold foiled sentiment is attached right on top of the flower arrangement:

The second card is landscape oriented and this time I have used a little still life from a patterned paper sheet to create an insert. You will find the instructions on how to do it in the video below - it is also a great way to incorporate a photograph into your card!

To finish off the first card I have attached a large half pearl to the end of each swirl on a frame and some smaller pearls to each tulip. I have also added a hanging tear drop pearl to the protruding swirl at the top of the frame.

I have used a golden sentiment for the still life card as well - just stuck it down onto the patterned paper. This time I have also added some flowers and leaves at the corner of the frame - they are cut out of the same patterned paper sheet to match the rest of the card. Then again I've added some pearls as finishing touches.
