Pop-Up Die-Cutting

I checked the PTI MIM video a few days ago & finally finished up my card today.  I have a limited selection of PTI dies.  Marybeth's card using Lovely Layers is a knockout (as are ALL her cards!), so decided to see if I could come up with something else.  I've hardly used the Floral Foliage stamps & die & I need a friendship card. 

The colors for ColourQ stumped me all week, but thought they'd work using the tree.  I don't have SU inks, so used Memento Peanut Brittle & Potter's Clay.  Yes, I'm into splatters right now, so just had to add some with my water brush.  I used my paper trimmer to cut around the stamped sentiment & popped it up. Stickles add some sparkle to 3 large flowers & a bit of paper twine finish off my simple card. 


I'm anxious to use this technique with other dies. Perfect way to add some dimension to a card that has to be mailed. All the papers I used had been cut into, so will add this to Pixies Snippets Playground.  Also a final entry for SSS Monday. I've only entered once at Virginia's View, but this one works for her current challenge, so now I've entered twice.

Thanks so much for taking time to see what I made & leave a comment--always brightens my day!
