Happy Day All!!!
Today brings us to a new challenge at Dies R Us.
The theme is "April Showers Bring May Flowers".
Trying to somewhat keep "in season" with what is blooming here now,
I chose to make a card using a Dogwood die by Spellbinders.
I cut my flowers from crepe paper and inked the petals
slightly, using Fired Brick Distress Ink.
The leaf flourish is Spellbinders D-Lites Sprigs.
I have to say this is one of my "go to dies".....
I use it a lot!
I die cut a frame for my sentiment using
The circle I stamped the sentiment on,
is a cut out from the frame.
is a cut out from the frame.
I stamped my sentiment from JustRite Lilac Blooms,
then popped the circle up, and placed it back inside the frame.
I finished the card with a few green pearls.
Now it's your turn, head on over to the Dies R Us challenge blog
and see what my "teamies" have to inspire "YOU" to join in!!
