The Cutting Edge Challenge #14...Nines!

It's time to share the next Cutting Edge Challenge!  We have another inspiration project, this one done by ME!...

OK...You are to be inspired by/find inspiration from my card, and create a card that includes die cutting (all forms accepted).   Here’s what I created:

I decided to keep my card in the same "niner" vein as the original, so I changed it up to die cut flowers and simply added different colored enamel dots into their centers.  

I''m also going to put up the original one I made...with a Christmas theme...

I decided to make this one ALL white, for the snowflakes.  I used a Lawn Fawn snowflake die, die cutting on thin paper 9 times, positioning, adhering and then die cutting on the card stock panel with the snowflake die another 9 times.  I die cut another 9 times, cut out into individual snowflake die cut pieces, and adhered underneath the original 9.  THEN, I embossed the snowflake, cut out into little pieces, again, and adhered underneath the layered die cut...if you were keeping count...36 die cuts all together!!  OK...it started out as a simpler thought...sometimes in the middle of creating, ideas change...the idea behind this card did:)!!  I die cut and layered the "merry" too...here's a close up...

I almost wasn't going to put this card up because of what you had to do to make it, but, hey....some cardmakers color...do techniques...layer...embellish...all kinds of things that take time...I die cut...only not usually ever this much for one card...LOL!!!
