Hello Everyone!
It's time for a new challenge at The Sisterhood of Crafters!
Today Anna is our hostess and she's asked us to create
ANYTHING USING DIES
Now this challenge theme is right up my alley!
I must admit I have quite a die collection so the biggest challenge to me was 'where to begin'! LOL
As I was in the process of creating this card I got word that a friend was in need of cards for her sister who was loosing her battle with cancer. So so sad ... but hopefully she will be showered with cards to let her know she is thought of and loved.
I had this watercolor panel (playing with my TH oxide inks again lol) so that is where my card began. Since it was done in fallish colors, I chose a rusty pumpkin colored card stock for my backing panel. The main die set I chose to use today is the Sue Wilson 'Australian Background' (CED8101).
After die cutting the decorative die from my watercolor panel, I laid it atop my background panel and die cut again. But, only poking out the decorative pieces on the sides.
The leaves were die cut from red card stock using the Elizabeth Craft 'Garden Notes Ivy Vine' (#1297).
To soften the color I sponged a bit of Tim Holtz Oxide inks on the leaves then sprayed with water and dried with my heat tool. The colors I used were Amber and Peeled Paint.

I felt that sending along HUGS was required for this special lady at this time so that was my choice of sentiment. It's a Technique Tuesday die (DIY098).
I really like that it's a 2 piece die set so you can back your hugs sentiment in a coordinating color and make it pop. A few touches of Copper Stickles and White Nuvo Crystal Drops were added for a touch of additional dimension and sparkle.
