WOW can you believe we are on the last day of 2016 ...
Today I have a card to share that was created for the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog using dies carried at the Dies R Us Store! I know we who are in the northeastern part of the USA
are in the middle of winter ... but it's never too early to start
thinking of warmer days that consist of flowers and birds singing in the
trees. Hence the inspiration for today's creation.
I recently purchased the Sue Wilson 'Indian Ocean Collection - Background' die set (#CED10011) and
couldn't wait to use it on a card. My card size is 5x7 and there are
actually pieces to this die set that I did NOT use ... it's a 7 piece
set!
I
had a large scrap piece of designer paper in my stash from another
project and thought possibly it would give me the springtime look I was
after so used it as the background as well as some of the other pieces
(inside rectangular panel ... sunflower).
Here are the panels I cut and used for the background on my card.
Other dies I've used for the foreground of my card are:
For
the floral element, I die cut the Cheery Lynn Designs Sunflower three
times ... one time each from dark green card stock, white card stock and
the daisy designer paper.
Next I shaped the designer paper panel petals and stacked them being sure to offset them just a bit so all layers are seen.
After
placing the peony cluster in the bottom right corner I felt the
sunflower needed a little 'something' so I die cut another peony cluster
from the dark green card stock ... cut it apart and tucked it in around
the sunflower! Awww that's better! LOL
Remember,
