For the card:
5 x 7 card (tent)
2 or 3 decorative papers
Nesties Labels x 2
Penny Black image
Nesties - Doodle Parts
Flowers, gems, ribbon, leaf punch
I started by colouring my image to match my papers.
I covered the base card and inked the edges. Then cut a strip from the second paper and added to the card.
Cut two labels - one full and one part label. Emboss edges. Using the straight edge of your strip you can line up the mat and image.
A few flowers, leaves, and gems together with a swirl and you have....
an image with a two tone mat.....
I thought you might like to try this little twist with the label dies. You could of course use this idea on numerous shapes - your dies are your oyster!
Have a great day whether you are crafting or....whatever!

Really love this idea - it's so clever and looks so effective. Thanks for sharing it Ikki :-)
Very clever, and pretty. I'll have to try this sometime.
Love the idea of Nesti's for corners. I used one of my scollops snipped out the a triangle at each side and hey presto a dress with scollops top and bottom.
