Hello Dear Friends!!
Today I'm sharing a card of encouragement over on the Dies R Us Inspiration Blog.
With all the crazy things going on in today's world, sometimes our burdens get a bit heavy and we forget what's really important in life. I have learned through the years to PUSH through the negative and EMBRACE the positive. So today's card will hopefully encourage someone to 'B Happy' ... life is too short to be anything else!!!
The dies from the Dies R Us store that I've used on today's creation are:
Sue Wilson Caribbean Island Collection CED-5201
Sue Wilson Spanish Collection- Cordoba CED-1206
Sue Wilson Scandinavian Collection CED4201
Sue Wilson Laurel Leaves CED1437
Memory Box 'Classic Uppercase Alphabet' #98361
Tutti Designs 'Easter Tulips' Tutti 255
Tutti Designs 'Happy Word Set' Tutti 228
I have used the outer die from the Caribbean Island die set for my background. Once die cut I used various Tim Holtz distress inks to sponge on some happy colors. I have used the inner dies from the other Sue Wilson sets to create my oval sentiment panel. I just learned that a lot of her similar 'collection' sets are interchangeable so that's where I came up with the idea for today's sentiment panel.
Remember, if by chance these dies are Out of Stock (as a couple of today's dies are) ... check back again because things turn around quickly! Just because you can't find it today doesn't mean it won't be there next time.
EDIT: When I originally wrote up this post there were FOUR dies Out of Stock at the store BUT when I checked before publishing this post they were ALL BACK IN STOCK so I have shared the links for you.
See What I Mean!!! LOL Dies move in & out of the store quite quickly!!
I
die cut the Easter Tulips twice and simply turned the one over so it
would be facing the opposite direction. I had originally thought about
die cutting from different colors and replacing the tulip heads but then
changed my mind and went with achieving my color on the background.
So with that being said, these yellow tulip heads were laying on the work table and I just didn't have the heart to throw them away! You know how that is!! LOL!!
I've used Nuvo crystal drops to accent the 'B' on my sentiment panel as well as adorn the center panel behind the flowers. By using a pair of flat tweezers and a little squeeze, I gave these laurel leaves a bit of life.
And, don't forget to come join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.
