Hi everyone, Today's cards use a few of the new stand-alone dies from the new release. First, I'm sharing a CAS (clean and simple) masculine birthday card made with Layered Leaves die 51-633. I die-cut the leaves from white card stock. I used a watercoloured piece from my stash ... this has a bit of sparkle, so I'm pretty sure it is a mix of Lindy's magicals on watercolour paper. I placed the die-cut leaves over the watercolour piece and traced with a pencil, then fussy-cut. Adhered the white over top of the watercoloured background and then adhered to my card front. I stamped a happy birthday sentiment (smile today! 30-461) in weathered wood distress ink. It matched pretty well! :) Close-up ... My second card uses the beautiful die, Creative Curves 51-611. This makes a lovely backdrop for any image. The bright white card front and black die-cut panel create a lot of contrast in this design. A pretty stamped butterfly (Wings and Vases 30-704), coloured with zigs and fussy-cut is all that's needed to complete this design, along with a simple black stamped sentiment, Good Wishes 30-541. My third card uses the new Bench (51-621) die. Created a very loose watercolour wash for the background from green and blue inks. Stamped a leafy branch from the Country Charisma stamp set 30-690, watercolouring in two shades of green ink. Popped up the die-cut bench, which was sponged in two shades of brown ink. Finished with a blue ink stamped sentiment, Good Wishes (30-541). Thanks so much for dropping by!
