For this card I used the largest Labels One Grand die and then folded it in half to achieve my base card. I was then able to emboss the top two thirds of the card using the Cuttlebug's Daisy Pattern folder by opening the card out flat and positioning the folder exactly where I wanted it and running it through the Grand Calibur - you just cannot do this with the Cuttlbug machine as it is too small.
Next I stamped a piece of teal bazzill cardstock using one of my flourish stamps (Fancy Flourishes) then used that same size Labels One die to cut it. I trimmed it down and stuck it to the base of the card and used one of the shaped bits (left over from die-cutting the panel) for the top of the card.
The wording was stamped with black ink (taken from my Fancy Flourishes stamp sheet). The girl is by Wild Rose Studio (Ava with Present) and was stamped with black Memento and coloured with Copics.
All materials used came from The Glitter Pot including the Grand Calibur. Hope you like it!!

Lovely card Kay and I like the idea of using the folded Grand Calibur die to make the card base - it's really effective!
I reckon it won't be too long before I give in to temptation as far as the Grand Calibur goes!!

Hi Kay, hope you're well. thanks for popping over to my blog and your lovely comments. Your card is really lovely and I must say I succumbed to buying a Grand Cal. Love it. Cannot wait to see more of your use with it. Lovely ideas. Keep well love to Mum and Dad.`Hugs JO.xxx
I'm glad you're pleased with your GC, Kay. The huge dies look gorgeous and they certainly make lovely shaped cards. I managed to track some larger dies down that still fit in the cuttlebug so I'm being a cheapskate and sticking with my bug at the minute.
I love the colours you've used too and the embossed background is beautiful.
Hope all is well with you.
Hugs Lisax
This is beautiful Kay, love the shape and gorgeous colours!
