I have a couple of projects to share today. My first is a step card featuring the new die, Layered Lacey Squares and How Great Thou Art stamp set...
I created the step card base with white card stock and matted the upper sections with navy CS. A bit of DP from the Christian Faith Paper Collection adorns the side and center panel. I stamped the sentiment (the new How Great Thou Art set) in blue ink and die cut/framed it with the new Layered Lacey Squares Die. If you look closely, there are actually three layers to the panel I created. You will love this die... it is SO versatile!
I adhered the sentiment panel to the middle and cut out some white flowers (Asters and Leaves Die) and foliage Fancy Foliage Die. I added a tiny sentiment and label die created with a few older items (Mini Tags Die and Mini Tag Sentiments). The final touch... a few black microbeads for the flower centers...
Here's a close up!
I think I got a bit ahead of myself. Didn't I say April Showers bring May flowers? Take a look at this new stamp set, Shower of Blessings, Umbrellas Die and Cloud and Raindrops Die.
I started with a white card stock base, Kraft mat and beautiful DP from ODBD's Shabby Rose Paper Collection. I added the die cut umbrella (paper pieced with Shabby Rose Paper leftovers), baker's twine bow and tiny hearts. And what about those clouds? Aren't they cute??? I stamped the sentiment directly on the paper panel with a rich cocoa ink.
So here are the new items you see today...
