Guest design for Cut it Up Challenge #340

 


Hi everyone, I was delighted to be asked to join Cut it Up as a guest designer for being a top pick in Challenge #336. I love using dies so this theme of more than one die cut was lots of fun!
 

I embossed the base card and frame diecut with the Subtle embossing folder, love the texture it adds and it's the perfect name, as it is so subtle!

I coloured the flowers and tiny butterflies with Altenew inks and used distress inks for the greenery.
I layered the sentiment up for dimension and used glossy black card for the top layer.

Thankyou again to the team at Cut it Up for inviting me along to play.

I'm also linking up to these challenges:

Dragonfly Dreams, Happy Birthday

Supplies:

Other: Altenew sweet dreams fresh dye inks; evergreen bough & peeled paint distress ink; black gloss card; Stampin Up subtle embossing folder.

Thanks for visiting and have a great week,
Cathy x
