If you have arrived here from Die~Namite’s blog, your are in the right place, if not head back to the Die~Namites blog to begin the hop. I used the fabulous Nana's Flowers Die~Namites Die to embellish my photo. I cut multiple colors of the die out and then pieced them back together to create my cascading flowers and leaves. Some are dimensional and molded while others are a single layer, all to give the trail of flowers dimension. I also cut out two of the new Spring Doily Die~Namites Die and used them to anchor both the photo and the beautiful red flowers. My layout is based on this month's Die~Namites Sketch Challenge~ This fabulous sketch was designed by Design Team Member, Tonya. There is still time to play along. You can link up your project, which includes at least one Die~Namite Die, with us here. Next is a card I made using the amazing new Spring Blossoms Die~Namite Die. I started by cutting the Spring Blossoms Die~Namite die out in white cs and then coloring the image with Copic markers. Once it was all colored, I cut out the die in pink cs twice and green cs twice and adhered the leaves and flowers to the original, Copic colored die cut. I molded the flowers and also added shading with a Copic marker. The flower centers were made with Perfect Pearls. And once again, I used some leaves from the Love Arrangement Die~Namite Die to embellish the button/bow treatment. I love that die! Now, head on over to Peggy Lee’s blog to continue the hop. Thank you for joining our blog hop!! Have a blessed day! Lee Ann :)
