So, don't panic. Don't freak out. I used patterned paper today. Ha ha!! It's been such a long time since I've cracked open a 6x6 pack of paper, and as I was cleaning out my craft space, I found this very unused pack of Cut & Paste "Adorbs" from MME. This card has turned out to be one of my all-time favorites. I hope you enjoy it too!
This card features Blueprints 14 Die-namics, which just happens to have many of the elements in my sketch. I switched out the circle for the polka dotted flower and I cut out the leafy vines in white vellum card stock. And, of course, I used a Sweet Tooth Button for the flower center, complete with a Hemp Cord bow.
I grabbed my set of Happy Hellos Die-namics and cut out the swirly hello 3 times in Steel Grey Card Stock. Did you see Laura Bassen's post on the MFT Blog a little while ago? She showed us how to layer up these delicate die cuts to they pop off the paper. I loved this idea! It's one of those slap your forehead moments for me.
I'm also entering this card into the guest designer call for The Cutting Edge Challenge Blog. If you are looking for a fun, new challenge, please hop on over and check this one out! It's all about using die cuts, cutting machines, etc. Super excited about this one!
I drew inspiration from the card in the bottom right corner by Karolyn Loncon.
