For both cards I've used a dreamcatcher die from Spellbinders.
For my first card I colored the die cut with brown and blue Promarkers, being inspired by the colors of the Stampin Royalty photo, and decorated it with white pearls. The blue inner frame is stamped with a script stamp from Kort&Godt.
I used my stitched oval dies to make a raised frame. I also used them to cut out the centre so that the gold paper panel also makes the background for the die cut. The cardstock is dark brown.
This card is for these challenges:Stampin' Royalty - #296 - Picture Inspiration
Dream Valley Challenges - Recipe (Blue+Stitching real or faux+die cuts)
Cards und More - No Designer Paper
For my second card I colored the die cut, a part from the feathers, with a brown Promarker, then I added frantage with white and gold and heat set it. I attached it to a gold panel covered with vellum and stitched around the edges. I mounted the panel on foam.
This card is for these challenges:
Addicted to CAS - Dream
TIME OUT Challenges - #39 Case Tracey (I was inspired by the white, vellum and the placement of the image)
House of Cards - Stitching

Oh Wow! these look awesome Pia! two very different styles but I love them both. The first one has a fab colour combo and a rustic feel to it… and the second one is SO elegant and pretty! :-)
Hope you have a lovely evening!
Big hugs, Sue B xx
They are both beautiful, Pia!!I love so much colours (sure you know me), so my favourite is the first one with this fabulous colours combo!!! The oval raised frame matches so well with the feathers and the pearls make this card so feminine! The second card has a mascuoline feel. They are perfect for a couple!
Hugs my friend!
These are lovely Pia, I particularly love the second one.

So good to see you at To Pia. I have never seen a dream catcher die but I really like it. I especially like the card for TO. The gold and frantage look fabulous giving the card such great texture. Fab idea to use vellum over the gold card and naturally I am impressed by the stitching. So pleased you shared with us at TO x
Great design and detail Pia. Fabulous use of the die.

Oh, these are so wonderful. Each is just beautiful, but the dark colors in #1 create such drama. Outstanding job, and what a beautiful thing for someone to receive! Well done on this dreamcatcher theme & you've shown this S/B die off splendidly. Hope S/B has a challenge where you enter these. I LOVE each one of them. TFS & Hugs
How neat Pia, love both of them! :)
Oh, Wow, Pia, I don't know which one I like better. They are both absolutely gorgeous! Love the colour combo of the first one, but the second one looks so elegant. It's a beautiful die!
Wow...fabulous cards Pia. Hard to pick a favourite as they are both so beautiful. hugs, Pat K x
Both cards are beautiful! I love the way you colored the round part of the dream catcher in the second card, it looks very elegant!
Both cards are stunning, great details on both. So realistic, they do not look like die cuts. Glad you joined us at House of Cards. Donna
