Whoosh ... can you believe it's back round to Saturday again and another Less Is More Challenge. Today the recipe is to 'Use a Die Cut' and I've gone from the simple one die card to the other extreme with a fiddly 6 die card!
So first up and I was itching to
use another new release from Clearly Besotted
(An Apple a Day).
It's a very quick
and simple layout with an MFT Die-namics snow scene border die
mounted at an angle using
3d foam with a wrap around
of bakers twine
from my stash and a couple of enamel dots.
Also from Clearly
Besotted I've used the 'sending you' and 'Wishes' sentiments
from 'In the
Frame' which I've very
naughtily cut in half
BUT they can still be used together for future stamping!
My next card uses a Memory Box Tilda Floral die, with the outline and petals coloured with various
promarkers, pieced back together like a jigsaw and adhered to a white
circle die-cut using Sizzix Framelits.
Next up 3 dies
from Clearly Besotted Fancy Florals again colour treated
with promarkers and adhered to the
centre of the flower.
The whole lot has
had a serious coating of glossy accents then layered
onto a
Nestabilities Scalloped Circle die with 3d foam.
Finally a stamped
border using Uniko Studio's Flower Power Background Builders
and sentiment from
Clearly Besotted Fabulous Fuchsias.
I'm also going to play along at CASology with this card as the theme this week is Flower
Ok it's over to you now and I'll be popping around blogland to see what ingenious ideas you've come up with using die-cuts so catch you later.
Lovely cards Sarah and whilst the apple is cute, that orange flower is so dramatic - love it! I'm off to hunt out some dies!!

Love both cards Sarah but especially the great use of the snow die! I often doctor my sentiment stamps too if it makes them more versatile! Vicky x
