Torn Edge

Another year almost gone and this is our last post this year for Group of Seven. Our technique this month is torn edge. I hope you will visit the blog and see all the great cards the group made this month.

I added a torn panel to the bottom of the tree paper and enhanced it with glitter drops in aquatic frost Nuvo Drops. The second card is a piece of cardstock torn in half and used at the top and bottom of the panel. I used a stencil by Lavinia called Feather Leaf in green ink between the two torn papers. Using a Tim Holtz Alterations Bigz die Tattered Florals I cut the flower three times, stacked them and inked a bit with brown ink around the centers. The center is filled with The Robin's Nest embellishments. Both cards have Penny Black sentiments. 

Life without music would b flat.







Be kind to one another.

Two lovely cards created using two of the torn edge techniques Brenda! The beautiful white trees are so pretty with the glitter slope edges and green snowy sky and what a great sentiment! And your stenciled strip accents your layered yellow bloom nicely - with another great bday sentiment! Hope you had a lovely Christmas! Julia xx

Your snowy trees are so pretty against the softly coloured sky, Brenda. Your snowhills are a great way to use torn edge and they look very special with the lovely shimmer of frost on top. Your flower is so pretty over top of the torn-edge strip with stenciling. Great way to add depth to the card without adding lots of layers. xx

Beautiful designer trees paper for your sky, Brenda. Love how you added the shimmery frost to the sky and then the torn edge snowbanks. Wonderful birthday sentiment too. Your torn edge stenciling on your 2nd card is the perfect background for beautifully layered die cut flower and an incredlblerer sentiment! TFS my friend. Happy Creative New Year...Love and Hugs..Nancy

That's a great technique you used on both cards. The snowy trees look dreamy with the frosty sparkle to ground them and the pretty yellow flower looks like an early touch of spring. Now if I could just pronounce that sentiment correctly! LOL Have a very happy new year in 2024.

Love your two torn edge cards, Brenda. Great use of two different torn edge techniques! Beautiful glitter to enhance the torn edge on the first one and wonderful stencilling inside the edges on the second.

I love the torn snowdrifts with this pretty paper, Brenda! And your stenciling between the torn edges makes a perfect place for this bright and happy flower! Love both sentiments too! Happy New Year, my dear friend!

Pretty cards. I especially love the colors and calmness or the winter scene. Your big flower gives us hope of the spring to come.
