I have a couple of shares for you! That's because the dies are all so yummy and I can't seem to stop creating with them!
My first card is quite simple.
It uses the Sleigh Scene Die as the main focal point. Cut in White, Mounted on foam tape over teal ad with a splash of glitter to add some Pizzazle!!!! Yep Pizzazle is my new word for the day!!!
I wanted a little something behind to ground the main image, so I cut the largest tree from the Evergreen die set and sponged it up a bit to add a touch of texture
Finally, I used my favourite sentiment from this years latest stamp release
The Wrought Iron Fence Die is definitely worth a second share as I think it's my fave for this release. I had it all spooked out yesterday, but today I wanted a bit of a fairytaleish look. Sooooo I left a full card front in Sky blue and mounted the fence on top, adding a couple of pearl gate handles...(not to be mistaken with pearly gates) Actually this die is rather heavenly and it would look lovely in gold, mounted atop a mass of clouds!!!
For the inside of the card, I added the Tree Window Scene Die
I took the Welcome sentiment from the House Collage Clear Set
Easy Peasy!
Here's the Blogs to check out today!!'
and of course me, but you are already here!!!
Thanks for all the Love this week.
Knowing my cards make you smile, makes me smile!

ReplyDeleteI am enamored with IO dies. I love both cards and love the way you have created such simple yet elegant projects. The colors used on the first card are so eye-catching and yet I love the suspense created by the gate fold card. Beautiful work, Vicki! Thank you for sharing your creativity! kReN@afourthlife
