A dear friend had a birthday yesterday. I knew I wanted to send happy colors and fun flowers. I also remembered a card that I've had in my inspiration files for quite awhile - I even bought the flower die to do it. It's a cutting plate die which means it actually covers the front of a full-size card. This is just a piece of it.
Here's the card that inspired me. It's stunning and I kind of hate to let you see it in comparison to mine!! But I always give credit and the concept of cutting into the die is all Shannon's (plus I'm sure it will inspire you too!)
I hope to see you playing along. Most of us either have Christmas cards to finish - or we are done with cards and can take a deep breath and make a card just for fun. Either way - it's a great sketch to play with!!

ReplyDeleteThat die cut is really fantastic and your colors are so happy and refreshing. I'm sure this was greatly appreciated!! Great card!
ReplyDeleteIncredibly pretty, Kim! The flower die is quite eye-catching! Have you seen the new flower dies from the Simon Says recent Friends release? I may be inviting one (or three) to come live at my place. Need to learn how to make eye-catching backgrounds for them first (perhaps I'll dabble with alcohol inks, as water-colour is so not happening for me...still!)...
