  Hello Friends!

It's time for a new challenge over on the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.
Remember, our challenges are now ANYTHING GOES as long as you used dies carried by companies at the Dies R Us Store!

 Dies & Stencil used on today's creation are:

Tim Holtz Bubbles Stencil

 I've created the background using Tim Holtz Distress Oxide ink.  Then after die cutting my Coral Reef Scene from dark green card stock, I spotted a scrap panel I had created for a past project using oranges & yellow distress inks and decided to cut the fish from that scrap and paper piece them onto the entire scenic panel.  I also used a scrap of purple card stock to recut the sea horse.  The mermaid was die cut from white card stock and colored using Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.

Challenges to share in:
Fun Friday (YNS) Challenge #164 - Scraps
Just Add Ink Challenge #554 - Just Add G!  (Green Sea Grass)

Art Impressions Challenge - Under the Sea
Addicted to Stamps & More Challenge #405 - Die Cuts and/or Stencils (I used both)

 Dies R Us now has a sister store with warehouses in USA & Canada called Didi Crafts 


It will ship to both the US and Canada. Didi Crafts will carry some of the same products as DRU, but most will be different. Now our Canadian friends don't have to worry about huge taxes or shipping fees. How great is that!?!

  
 I hope you will come join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog.  There's a new challenge offered on the 1st and 15th of each month and one lucky randomly drawn winner will receive a gift voucher prize to the Dies R Us Store.
