All in White

 I’m trying a new way to photo my card instead of using a camera I’m using my phone but not sure I like the way it photos white on white cards.

The snowflake background is two layers to help it stand out, the die is Taylored Expression from a few years back. The pine needles, holly leaves and poinsettias are Simon says Stamp all a  few years old now. Along with Tiny Words Christmas stamp set.

What could be more greener than a couple of green dragons using Taylor Expressions Magical Day Stamp and Die set.

The tricky part was what to do with them once I had coloured using Prismacolor and die cut them out.

I decided to use the Simon Says Stamp Birch Tree Window die simply because I finally managed to get my hands on it after being sold out and missing it again. Must remember to leave my e-mail address so that I can get notify its back in stock.

It seemed only natural to used the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Oval die to make a frame and if you are having a flying dragon you better have some clouds to prove this, so I used the Simon Says Stamp Cloudy Sky dies.

That just left a sentiment to do and I had to use one from the Magical day stamp set since it was sooooo perfect and I used the Simon say Stamp Stitched circle in keeping the stitch detail. Oh nearly forgot the main mat was using the Bundle of Stitched Shapes again in keeping the stitched detail and
the the dark brown card was bit left over from one of the Simon Says Stamp card kits.

First of all my Taylored Expression stamp I brought was Simply Stamped Zinnia and I stamped my large Zinnias in the middle and added smaller ones round the main flower.
I then used the large stitched rectangle from the Simon Says Stamp Bundle of Stitched Shapes and once that was done I used three of the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Oval dies to cut out the the ovals.
Once cut out, I then cut out the ovals separately and stuck the stamped ovals onto them this allowed me to be able to layer my stamped oval easier. Hope that made sense.
My Simon Says Stamp Thank You die I used in white and gold, also I manipulate so it went round the oval.
I wish now I brought the dies to help my large Zinnia pop, never mind.

So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting

Life's a Beach

When I saw this weeks challenge on Less is More Life's a Beach I knew I would be able to use my Taylor Expression Sandcastle die but first I had to make a beach for it.
The sand is in fact sand paper although it wasn't keen on the Stitched Rectangles from Simon Says Stamp.
The papers are a bit of Doodlebug and American Crafts and I had use the Stitched die on all of them to them cut them to make the scene and matching frame.
My little sun was a perfect size from the My Sunshine stamps and die again from Simon Says Stamps.
I cut the sandcastle in red and cut the flags off to stick on my sand castle. The sentiment is again from Simon they're on my desk so in easy reach but the set is call Happy and Smile.
I hope it clean enough for the LIM team.
