Hi everyone,
I hope your week is going well.
Thank goodness there is not another Friday 13th this week!!
I couldn't believe it, last Friday, when my EBosser died on me.
It had sometimes stopped, for no apparent reason before.
I just turned it off and on again and it worked. Not this time!!
Fortunately, I only had a tag die in it and
it was near enough to the front of the plates,
that I was able to pull it out. It was a brand new plate too!!
Guess what the theme is for our challenge,
Have you got it?.......
Dies and/Or Punches!!!
Just what I needed!!
I was just lucky that I hadn't sold my Joy Trouvaille machine!
Our Sponsor for this challenge is Tiffany Doodles.
The generous prize is 3 Digi images.
The selection of stamps is amazing. You will have a hard job choosing your 3.
I chose to use this gorgeous flower called Petals Up.
I printed the image onto 300gsm Langton Watercolour paper.
I coloured it with Distress Inks.
I created the background with a mask and a mask over the image.
I used Distress inks through the mask.
I used Paul's, at Go Create dies, Frilly 8, to cut both the flower and blue mat.
The sentiment is a Spellbinders Die D-Lites and the decorative cut out,
is a Sue Wilson Die.
I then used a corner punch to round off the corners of the 7" square card.
Oops! I nearly forgot the butterfly, which is a Sizzix Die!
It nearly didn't make it onto my card. It was sitting on my desk, when I blew a bit of fluff off my card. The butterfly took off and landed in my pot of water I was using for painting my flower!!
A quick pat with kitchen roll and a blast of heat gun and it was rescued!
I think I have met the brief for this challenge. Plenty of dies and a punch!
So let's see what you make for us to drool over!
You can see all the gorgeous cards, from the brilliant Crafting For All Seasons
design team, which I feel very honoured to be part of.
Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by and your lovely messages
you leave me, are truly amazing.
Hugs,
Carolxxx

Such a lovely card, Carol, and you have rescued your butterfly perfectly...no-one would know it had had a little 'swim'.
