More Green inspiration

Maybe it's because I'm hosting this challenge, or that there are lots of other challenges out there that have GREEN as a theme...... but my last few cards have been green.  So I thought I would share with what I've been making.... all including die's in one way or another...

First up is this card I made for my son

This used dies and stamps from Lawn Fawn (Say Cheese set and die) and two different Simon Says ~ one die and one sentiment.  Green paper background was stamped with an older Hero Arts background stamp in Distress ink - Mowed Lawn.  The photo is my son on his third time jumping.... first time over a 1 metre high jump ( about 3ft high)

My second card celebrates Easter.

I used some green water-coloured paper to make the frame using a Spellbinders die.  The PP came with a magazine ~ half one pattern, half the other, so I just trimmed some out of the middle of the sheet...easy as!!   The flowers stamp is from JudiKins - one I've had for years and only used a few times.   I stamped it on some watercolour paper that I had coloured with pinks and golds.  I coloured the image with Copics.  Finished with the sentiment from a Verve stamp set. 

Have you been and seen the entries so far!  Stunning says it all!!!  Look at this page.   And we would love to have you join us.   

And keep an eye here for some up coming posts..... I've sourced some videos to share and our Guest Diva is coming up.  

Capturing a scene in a Reverse Die-Cut

Hi  all...  today I'm going to share a card with you created by Arlene.

 

and here's how Arlene did this.

"My first card for Die Cut Divas March challenge used a round die-cut with a Hero Arts background stamp, but here is the reverse die-cut framing a scene... a bit on the vintage side, but with a modern city skyline.  I truly hate to tell you how this card came about, but oh well.

I was cleaning my desk and packing random pre-cut images, such as Newspaper buildings and digi vintage autos.  A cloud even stole across the landscape of my desk.  Since the sun is popping out here with 70 degree Fahrenheit weather, I couldn't resist some sun peeking out in cardland.  The "note" panel was a left-over from something (don't ask me what because I don't know) and needed to be used.  It came together nicely.  

The reverse die-cut is raised on pop-dots with some of the buildings on glue dots connected to the reverse die (not the note card) and a few of the images dotted on the paper.  It makes for a nice depth separation.  I am looking at it on my desk and still wondering who created this... it couldn't be me,"

 Thanks Arlene for providing even more wonderful inspiration this month.  So don't forget to link up your GREEN cards HERE

cheers
