Happy Little Stampers Revisited

Today's card is my second one for the Happy Little Stampers CAS May Challenge - Die-cuts and/or punches and it is very different in style from yesterday's card.  Here it is.



I did a colour blocking technique and inlaid die cutting for this one.   I used a curved border die from Simon Says Stamp and a sentiment die from Clearly Besotted.  This is where you will find the HLS CAS challenge.

Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge - May - Die-Cuts

I hope everyone is having a good weekend.  We, in the UK are having a bank holiday, and, as is customary on a bank holiday in the UK, it is raining - well, at least it is in the south west - which is the downside of living on the coast.  Anywho, here is the card I made for the Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge - May



The brief was, to use die-cuts or punches.

As usual the DT came up with some stunning inspirational examples.  Here are the rest of the pictures of my card, they are a little dull I'm afraid due to the dismal lighting.  All supplies will be listed below.









In retrospect, I think if I did this design again, I would emboss the feathers in a matte embossing powder.

Supplies used:

Avery Elle - Custom Panels die set
Waltzingmouse - Fine Feathers, stamps & dies
Clearly Besotted - Love die
Incidentals - Cardstock, patterned paper, vellum, embossing powder, embossing folder & bakers twine.

As always, thank you so much for brightening my day with your visits and I hope you are all having a good weekend, whatever you are doing.  Hazel xx
