Dies R Us March Challenge



Hi everyone! The Dies R Us Challenge is anything goes with dies from the store.


I had some leftover cut outs from Christmas cards so I used them to make a "wintery" card. 

I took a piece of black and white checked paper for my background. Then I cut out a grey rectangle from Tutti Designs, heat embossed the white sentiment and added the Tutti Pine Forest. The forest has some white speckles I added with a tooth brush and some white ink. The lil snowflakes are just from the cut outs that drop off when you cut out the trees!


Here's a list of the dies I used:


Have a great day!

Laurie

Beautiful card design and I love that tree line die you used on it. Looks great with the plaid too.

Cute and FUN! Cassidy learned how to do speckles recently....and now my Stamparatus (and other items on my desk) are nicely "decorated"!

What a pretty winter scene you've created! Love the blue pine trees with the black and white plaid.

I love the black and white paper behind the pine trees! It looks amazing!

So cute! I love the plaid, the blue trees, and those tiny white specks. Never thought of using a toothbrush. Another idea to jot down!

Kathy Krug said...

Beautifully done as always, Laurie.

Oh, how pretty, Laurie! We finally have some signs of spring in the Northwoods of WI. There's still plenty of snow, but it is melting a bit every day. The maple trees are tapped, the geese are returning, and the sun has some warmth -- all great signs!

I just love the colors and design here, and the subtle sparkle on those trees looks festive and so very pretty! Great card!
