I began by die cutting the Do You See What I See? cover plate from white cardstock. I trimmed it to the shape & size I wanted with my scissors & glued it to a Soft Stone panel. The flower is made with 3 of the dies from In Bloom: Eva's Favorite Flowers using dark gray & white cardstock--cutting 2 of each size bloom plus a center. My favorite W&W die, In a Word: Hello, was die cut twice from white cardstock & once from dark gray. I loved Nuvo Drops when I first got them, but now I can't seem to make drops with them. However, they work great spread with a wet paintbrush on die cuts.
Next is my entry for Christmas Kickstart where the theme is Snowmen. I've been having fun combining cross stitch with papercrafting, so pulled out the MFT snowman pattern to make a tag card.
I used MFT Cross Stitch Tag & Scallop Cross Stitch Tag. The sentiment is from a very old MFT stamp set. I'm also entering CHNC & WAW.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
