Spectacular Butterfly on Die Cut Divas

 Hi,

It's my turn to post Die Cut Divas today.

My card features Poppystamps Nordic Spectacular Butterfly.  I die cut the butterfly pieces in white, and then ink blended using some colors from the color palette of this month's challenge.

Our challenge this month is a color challenge.  We want you to use three or more colors of the palette below, with optional black and white and skin tone on people for your project.  Of course add die cut and/or dry embossing.

Our sponsor this month is Poppystamps, the challenge prize is $20 to their store.

I hope you're inspired to play along.  See you in the challenge gallery!

Joy on Die Cut Divas

 Happy June 1st everyone!

I am sharing a card inspired by a warm color palette on  Die Cut Divas.

This month on Die Cut Divas, we're having a color challenge.  Use at least three or more colors from the below palette , with optional black and white and skin tone on people for your project.  Of course add die cut and/or dry embossing.

I created an ombre panel using "Pale Pink", "Coral", and "Wine".  Then I die cut it with the detail layer of the Poppystamps' Nordic Flourish Background die set.  

Next I die cut the outline using vellum and glue the detail layer on top of the vellum.  I also die cut another detail layer using white card stock and glue it to the back of the flourish piece before gluing it to the white card front.  Then I adhere the 'joy' with foam adhesive.

Our sponsor this month is Poppystamps.  They are giving a $20 gift card to their store as the challenge prize.

Come on over to Die Cut Divas and check out the rest of the inspirations created by the design team.

Going Places on Die Cut Divas

 Greetings!!

I am sharing another card on Die Cut Divas for May's challenge: Real or Faux Watercolor.

The image for my card is Art Impression Road Trip clear stamp set.  I used both soluble water color and water color pencils, and some metallic water color on the card.

The top postage stamp die cut is actually a panel that I used to ink off a stencil, I used it because it has this water color look.  I then stamped some postmarks on it.  I die cut a second postage stamp die in green pattern paper to offset the top one to add interest.

Our sponsor this month is Art Impressions, and challenge prize will be $25 gift code to their store.
