Happy Tuesday Dies R Us Fans!
Darlene with you once again, hoping to inspire you with using die cuts on your card/project creations. Today's card was easy and fun to make.
I created this little 'scene' using the Die-namites 'Spring Window' die about a month ago and finally got it off my work table and onto a card front.
By simply using a white piece of cardstock, I lightly sponged blue ink over it to create the look of a sky. Next I adhered my die cut to the sky paper panel and fussy cut around the outside edge. I used my Spectrum Noir DR5 alcohol marker to color in the birdhouse. Such a fun and cute little scene and one I'm sure all your cat lovers have seen first hand!
Here's the entire card ...
I love the silhouette look so kept everything else on my card in black and white. Here are the other Dies R Us products I have used today:
Tattered Lace 'Kensington Corner' #D318
I've used pop dots to add dimension to the cat in the window as well as the cat that is walking away. Offray black satin ribbon, a small tie of Offray black organza ribbon and a Martha Stewart bird punched black bird are my only other embellishments.
I hope you'll come join us at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog and show us what YOU'VE created using die cuts. And by all means, pop on over to the Dies R Us store ... there are some fabulous sales going on and I'm sure you'll see something you just can't live without!
