60 Days of Diemond Dies: Day 49

Hello beautiful crafters.
 
Today I am bringing you a boxed set of cards using fabulous dies from Diemond Dies.
 

For this boxed set I used several dies and tried to provide a mix of masculine and feminine cards.
I also tried to mix the themes as well.
I first got this idea from one of Sarah Elliot's Use It or Lose It YouTube Videos.
In this video, Sarah uses some of her 12" x 12" patterned paper stash to make envelopes,
with enough scraps left over to make matching cards.
So I rumbled through one of my many 12" x 12" piles of individual papers and grabbed
a couple of papers I thought would make an eclectic mix.
 
For this project I used the following dies.

Please head over to the Diemond Dies facebook page to see all the exciting projects 
from the other Design Team Members.
Throughout the 60 Days of Diemond Dies promotion, if you like the Diemond Dies facebook page and comment on their posts, you have a chance to win dies and gift certificates.
 
Finally, if you would like to pick up some of these dies head over to Diemond Dies.
They are offering a 10 % discount and free shipping (including international) 
on purchases of $35 (US) or more if you use discount code thanksangela.
 
Now go and have some fun crafting.

60 Days of Diemond Dies

Hello beautiful crafters.

Today I am bringing you a card with some fabulous dies from Diemond Dies.
For this card I used several dies and mixed a couple of different genre's.


I just love how grey looks with pink and I think the silver cogs just add that little bit extra.
For this project I used the following dies.

Spirit of Hibiscus

Hi All.

Welcome back and Happy New Year.
It has been just over a year since I last posted one of my creations.
The year has been full of ups and downs, treasures and turmoils.

at the end of 2014, I resigned all of my posts and design teams 
to take on an Executive Committee role at a community organisation.

Wow, that was definately more work than you would expect.
Now, as I hand my position onto the next person, 
I find myself yearning to create again.

I have been creating in the background, 
but only small projects that time would allow.

To get my feet wet again on posting, 
I thought I would include my latest card creation.


The beautiful Hibiscus girl is from Aurora Wings.
I printed her out on some Watercolour paper, and coloured her with my Faber Castell Watercolour pencils.

I fussy cut around her, added gold for the stamens 
and I used Wink of Steller on the middle of every flower.

I even layered the inside with some fussy cut flowers as well.

I am entering her into the following challenges;
Craftyhazelnuts Patterned Paper Jan 2016 Challenge
Inky Chicks Challenge 61- Anything Goes
Not Just Cards Challenge 28 - January
Avenue 613 Challenge-160 - Anything Goes No Twist
Inspiration Destination Challenge 70

She brought some light into my day, 
and I hope she brings light to yours as well.

Above all, have fun
and Happy Crafting.
