Hi there! I was pleasantly surprised when I randomly won this Cottage Cutz Daisy Heart die in a Double D challenge recently. Thank you Double D! Might as well play with it right away rather than put it in a basket with the rest of the NBUS dies.
And I did play! The die cuts are layered for dimension then glued to white cardstock and trimmed around the edges so it has a solid base. I punched little white flowers, colored the centers with a yellow Copic marker, then added a drop of Diamond Glaze in each. Sorry, it was a dark day for picture taking and several attempts could not show detail any better than this, sigh.
I decorated the card with Mintay Farm Life designer paper, added a sentiment from a stamp and die set. Gloss on the "sunshine". The top of the card is embossed with a Basket Weave folder.
I hope this card looks like springtime because I made it to play along in the Can You Handle the Pressure Challenge with the optional twist of THINK SPRING. I love my embossing folders and I always like to play the twist.
I'll wrap this up and wish you a wonderful day. I hope springtime comes to you soon!
Oh Leslie this is just AWESOME! I recognized the background paper straight away and you've showcased it beautifully here! Love the red gingham and your embossed top section is perfect with your pretty die cut! You and Diane do wonderful things with those Cottage Cutz dies ... me, not so much lol. Thanks so much for playing in our challenge at Can You Handle The Pressure … we appreciate your support and hope to see you again next challenge!
