Hello

 


Let's Begin A Lawn Fawn Month With A Bang! 

Die Cut Divas is pleased to have Lawn Fawn sponsor Die Cut Divas for the month of March with a $25 gift card.

The theme for this month is "Anything Goes"

Here is my project-


 Just a fun little tidbit-except for the sky and grass, the birdbath and house were colored with Copics! I'm trying to use up my white scraps, and by using them I can color die cuts however I want! And it keeps my Copics flowing and not drying up. Here is the material list for this card-

    1. Dies: house (Lawn Fawn-Build A House), door (Lawn Fawn-Build A House Christmas Add On), fence, birdbath (Lawn Fawn-Build A House Spring Add On), pine tree hill edger (Frantic Stamper).
    2. Sentiment: sentiment w/matching die (Pink Fresh-Just a Hello Floral).
    3. Paper: white, green cardstock. Cloud sky-unknown.
Make sure to enter the challenge for a chance at that great prize!

The Prize from Altenew: $50 gift certificate

Here is my project-



Sometimes I get a last minute request from my husband for a card. Sympathy cards are the hardest ones for me to make, but the Altenew embossing folder and rose dies made this an easy one to create. I had a scrap of a watercolor background, and I thought it would make a nice rose. Add a sentiment and leaves, and voila! A card that shows how much he cares.
 
Here is the material list for this card-
  1. Dies: rose (Layered Rose Die Set, Altenew), leaves (Garden Picks 3D, Altenew).
  2. Embossing Folder: Angled Mosaics (Altenew).
  3. Other: Brusho colored watercolored paper. Scrap paper for leaves and rose outlines. Sentiment (Easy Expressions by The Ton.)
