Using die cuts


This is my design card for Suzy Bee's Bloomin' challenge 108: anything goes with a twist ... use a die cut. Please click on the link to see the lovely crafting of others in the DT and join in our challenge.

This is also for my own CHNC challenge 257 where I'm asking to see die cuts and/or punches used - more info if you click on the link - I'd love to see you there.

I love the Lacy Sunshine Christmas boo image (coloured digitally in Microsoft Paint) - Lacy Sunshine are sponsoring Suzy Bee's this week. I die cut this using a Docrafts Xcut rectangle parenthesis die, using a larger one to cut out the mat underneath, using an offcut from my Christmas box. The background card is from Kanban (it's been lurking for some time now), a couple of Poundland flowers and a red and pink bow rescued from a box of freebie No. 7 cosmetics and a silver sentiment saying Happy Christmas.
