It's time to share a new creation for the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog!
It's time to share a new creation for the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog!
The dies I have used on today's card are:
Sue Wilson Festive Collection - Poinsettia Mini Background #CED3049
Tutti Designs - Gifts under the Tree #TUTTI-131
Cheery Lynn Designs - Merry Christmas #B186
I actually had a few die cuts laying on my work table just waiting to be used and this beautiful Tutti Designs tree happened to be one of them. A lot of times when I receive my dies I will do a quick cut from white card stock (anxious to see what it looks like cut out, lol) and then I can add color as needed. Today I wanted to keep some of the white showing through on the tree so simply sponged on a little green ink.
A Christmas card just doesn't seem complete sometimes without a touch of sparkle so I turned to my Stickles box and added red to the berries in the frame and ribbons on the packages under the tree. Then some Diamond Stickles to help decorate the tree.
To add extra dimension to the sentiment, I die cut it twice ... once in white and once in red ... then carefully layered one atop the other for a nice shadowing effect. What do you think?
Please remember, each an every day of the month there's a new inspiration sample shared on the blog by this fabulous design team. Please be sure to pop in regularly.
