So far I really like using this die to make card sets -- it's neutral, has a big visual impact, and looks cool with all different colors. That's a win for me!
Thanks for stopping by!

Retro Swirls card set
Last year I shared two card sets made with the Retro Swirls A2 die (Erin Lee Creative): one rainbow and one with beachy colors. I recently needed to make a card set, and I decided to pull out this die again and try another color combo.
This time I used just three colors for the swirl -- a bright green, pool blue, and teal -- so each card has one color for the middle of the swirl and the other two colors above and below the middle. I also stamped the sentiments directly on the white card bases instead of die cutting them. I finished each card with three sequins, and then I made three more (with the same sentiments) to make a set of six cards.

I remember you made some other cards using this die, some time ago. Its a fun die and you could use it for both female and masculine cards, just by changing the colours you use. The shape reminds om of the New Zealand Koru, which is painted on the tail of all our Air New Zealand planes. The Koru is a Maori symbol that represents new life, spiritual growth and progress. It's a spiral shape based on the appearance of a new unfurling Silve fen frond. It also means perpetual movement, which may be why it's painted on the tail of all our planes! I won't bore you with any more of the history! These cards must have been a ton of fun to create! Imagine all the different colour combos you could do! Sunshine.
