Modern art and crazy daisy cards!

I have been amazed by this video  on partial die cutting posted by Jennifer McGuire Ink ! The first time I gave it a try with something very simple, but this time I decided to put a bit more efforts (and patience) and try something more complex (still very far away from Jennifer’s works though) The card with brown/golden nuances has been created by using one of the dies from the  Scribbles and Splat   Sizzix set.  The squares on the front of the card have been cut out from Oxygen Marble Prune paper with a die of the 657565 Framelits Pack. For the card in green-ish tones I’ve partial die cut the front by using the Enchanting blossom die cut from Sizzix and used some Polka dots scrapbooking tape to decorate the top and bottom of the window. I’ve then used the left over flowers from die cutting to embellish the upper stripe and some rhinestones for the centre of the flowers.  

Sizzix cutting machine and die cutting for card making

I've tried to resist and not to buy it, I've looked for it among second hand objects, I've also participated for the first time to an ebay auction but, with my greatest disappointment, I lost it... I'm talking about the Big Shot die cutting machine from Sizzix(R). ...to cut a long story short.... I bought it new (bad bad girl :-) ).... together with some cutting dies. The spare die in the left bottom corner is the Sizzix thinlit   Enchanting blossom The squared frame set is the Sizzix 657565 Framelits Pack The set on the right of the cutting pad is the Scribbles and Splat again from Sizzix  I'm a newbie of card making so don't expect terrific things... below you can find some of my recent cards made by using the above  mentioned machine and dies.
