Hello my friends!
Today I have a card for the new challenge over on The Sisterhood of Crafters!
Our theme today is:
FLOWERS
This was a fun card to create!
The stamp I used is from Simon Says, called 'Wild & Free Flowers' (2026ssc). Tombow markers were used for the coloring and pink Nuvo crystal drops for accent.
After coloring my image I decided I wanted to die cut an oval from the image but I didn't have a large enough oval die. Then, a light bulb went off in my head and I remembered from years ago how I could fussy cut around the leaves and put the die up under the hand cut leaves and got the affect you see above.
The rectangle die is Paper Rose 'Stitched Rectangle Frames #16679.
The oval die is Tutti Designs 'Stitched Scallop Ovals'.

As always, thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to stop by!
Beautiful flowers and I love your layout with the out of the box die cutting. I remember doing this technique in the past. It adds a really nice element of interest without having to fussy cut the whole dang thing. It turned out fabulous!
ReplyDeleteSo very pretty, and such a fun technique with the partial die cutting - love it! Thanks so much for playing at Retro Rubber!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card and a lovely colour choice. Thanks for joining Passion for Markers. Elaine
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Darlene! No patterned paper needed to showcase this lovely image! And I love your tip on how to keep the leaf from being cut by the die. Thank you for playing with us at the Let’s Craft and Create Challenge. I hope you can join us again soon.
