Took me awhile to spend my gc & I'm glad I didn't wait any longer. I'm having such fun putting my new goodies to use! It's always hard for me to buy the more expensive items, but gotta say, The Leaf Effect Cutaway was worth it! I loved the first card I saw made with it & I'm still so drawn to the effects you can achieve. My first card for Pinspiration with Heather H uses the traditional die cut over cardstock look, but I used textured cardstock & added Distress Rock Candy glitter.
My favorite hello die is stacked 3 high & clear embossed. Finished off with a few dots of Pico Embellisher. I'm also entering CropStop & Virginia's View.
I began my card for Rainbow Colour with Gayatri by making a Copics background. Didn't like my first attempt to use it, but then I remembered my hexagon card.
I love the design done with the leaves, which I cut from cardstock covered with Glimmer Dust spray adhesive. The sentiment & little sun are from Big, Bold, Seasons. The word summer is stacked 7 high, colored with the same blue Copic & clear embossed. Memento Dandelion & Love Letter inks were used for the stamping & I added a Nuvo clear drop to the center of the sun which is mounted with a pop dot.
I'm also entering Dies R Us, The Male Room & Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
I fell in love the black and yellow and then scrolled on down the page and saw the multi coloured card and i love that one too. So,so different looks.
