Hello! Hope you're enjoying the hop so far! You should have arrived from Nancy's blog, if not, head HERE to start at the beginning. For my card today I used the fabulous new Stitched Square Speech Bubble Dies. I cut 2 out of the front panel, and one to pop up. I ♥ using the negative space left behind after die cutting...more bang for your buck! Score!
I stamped the greeting from the new Treasured Moments set with Charcoal Hero Arts Shadow Ink. I forgot to mention that the patterned paper I used is from the Boy Crazy collection from My Mind's Eye. I finished it off with some butterflies and sequins from Neat And Tangled.
Your next stop on the hop is ROSY.

Love Love Love the kraft with a pop of color! You are AWESOME Miss Nikki!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome way to use the stitched bubbles die. Love it. Janet buck2@casscomm.com
ReplyDeleteI just love the design of this card and the use of a negative from die cutting to make the front, then adding the single speech bubble die on top. Really great idea. Of course, it wouldn't be one of your creations without a little sequins for some bling.
ReplyDeleteI too like to use the negative cuts...I even used some of the little waste dots from the sequins for a butterfly body. I won't do that a lot but could use them as glitter maybe. I like how this card is so clean and simple yet begs to be looked at! Wonderful card.
