My first card features the new Zinnia set along with the coordinating Zinnia and Leaves Dies. I cut out the base flower with the new die but the other two layers were cut out free hand just so I could get a little dimension. I added a Beautiful Border and the sentiment is cut out with Ornate Borders and Flowers die. Oh and there is some Fancy Foliage too! Each piece is sponged with distress ink for a shabby look.
And I love the little Hummingbird and the Bee Balm so much! I have had the pleasure the last couple of years to enjoy several Hummingbird feeders in my backyard and I am looking forward to having the little creatures visit again this year! And I think I need to plant some Bee Balm! In the meantime, we can enjoy the new stamps and dies from ODBD! I made a frame with Spellbinders A-2 dies and have the new Daisy Chain die cut behind the frame. The Bee Balm image is colored with copics and cut out with the Antique Labels and Borders die. I colored the little hummer and cut him out with the new Hummingbird die. To complete the card I added some stickles!
Here are the products I used for these two projects:
And here are links to my DT sisters and the ODBD Blog for more inspiration:

Both, the bee and the hummingbird cards are absolutely lovely. The rhinestones around the zinnia center really make this a show card.
ReplyDeleteTrying to pick a favorite is impossible because both of these cards are fabulous! I really love the look of the Daisy Chain die cut. White-on-white always looks elegant and, in this case, it makes the colored images and ribbon really pop!

ReplyDeleteOh how gorgeous Sandee!! I just adore your bee balm against the daisy chain background and your stunning zinnia with the blinged up center!! Stunning work my friend!!

Holy Toledo! The coloring is wonderful on these cards. Both cards are spot on and I agree picking a favorite is just impossible.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards!! Love your colors!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! The pearl button looks amazing on that Zinnia. I wish the coordinating die was a bit more accurate, so there was no white space around the flower. Love both cards!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards. Love the pearl button in the center of the zinnia.
