No Designer Paper

 Morning and a Happy New Year to you all as it's the 1st of the month I have three DT posts today=the first one is for the "No Designer Paper " challenge at Pearly Sparkles.

I made a card using a selection of dies- I was sent the star frame and circle dies in a card swap -the flower dies are mine(think Memory Box?)ribbon from stash and stencilled background.

I would like to thank you all for your support and comments over the past year-much appreciated.

You have put all those different die cut elements together so well. I do love dies. Great spotty background too. It is just enough xx

What a beautiful assortment of dies used for your silhouette floral and love that you included some stenciling on the corners... very pretty card. Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble.

I like this! The dies are very cool. I have a really hard time working with skinny dies, but the finished look is fabulous!

Carol, what a great sense of design you have! I would never have known how to approach using this set of eclectic die cuts on a single card!! Thank you so much for sharing your card and creativity with us at Double Trouble!!! -Donna

Terrific background for your wonderful silhouette die cuts.

Kellianne said...

Those dies used together turned out wonderful! Very nice card. I love having cards on hand that have no sentiment too. Then I can grab them fast for anything I might need last minute! Thanks for sharing with us at Double Trouble :)

This is no challenge for you Carol, you make so many brilliant backgrounds all of the time. Your black and white die cut theme is stunning and it works so very well with this backing paper.
