Do-die-licious

This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog we have a challenge sponsored by Do Crafts.

The design team were lucky enough to receive some goodies to play with that included X-Cut dies and in my case some Gorjuss die-cuts and papers.

The theme of this week's dare is to focus on die-cuts - preferably X-Cut brand if you have them.

The set I used for my card are these border dies:

And here's my card:

Paper and topper elements: Gorjuss
Stamp: PTI
Felt: PTI
Punch: Martha Stewart
Other: black and plain vellum, bling, pearls, Glossy Accents, 3D foam

I layered up my card using papers and elements from the Gorjuss collection, the silhouette background actually features another Gorjuss girl on it, but I really wanted to feature one of the die-cut girls - so I layered those elements and mixed and matched the oval frames. The label was the perfect size to add a PTI stamped greeting, and I raided my felt stash for shades that would go well with the black and blue of the Gorjuss range.

I made a happy discovery and found I still had a sheet of black vellum that must be nigh on 12 years old now! The border dies cut perfectly in the vellum and I also used the vellum to hand-cut some leaves for the felt roses and then punch some butterflies to complement the butterflies in the silhouette background image.

The design team have really come up with some fab projects to showcase the X-Cut dies. Do check them out!

Here's to a crafty weekend!
