It's December, and that means that over at Simon Says Stamp, it's DieCember®! This is the 13th year of celebrating die cutting! I can remember when there were simply stamps to make cards. I hand cut flowers...and often didn't do a great job, but I loved the look of a stand alone flower. Now, dies cut pretty much everything...and intricately, at that! I LOVE dies!!! I have used one of Simon's new dies, a background die, to make a birthday card!...
This Forest Background is so cool. My daughter saw it and had the same thought I did, make it a masculine birthday card! So, I used 6 different green inks(the Artichoke and Kale I used together), and a pastel blue for the sky, and brushed on ink to all the white die cut pieces. I decided to use a silver sentiment...a CZ Design sentiment die, die cut and layered, and after I put it one the card, changed the white border to silver, to match the sentiment! Here's a close up...
This was so much fun! I think the possibilities are many, with this die. You could make a rainbow of colors, or dot the greens with snow, for winter...just for a couple. There will be two blog hops, celebrating this wonderful new release, tomorrow, Friday, the 5th, and Saturday, the 6th, over at the Simon Blog....hoping you will "hop" along!! But until then, check out the new release below! Please take care!
Than you so much for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
