Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies August Challenge

Hi Everyone,

I am back with a card for the Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies challenge!


You may remember that card that I made with the alcohol ink background. Well I had a lot of those butterfly cut-outs. I decided to save them and turn them into a card. Not a good idea I have to say in retrospect...would have been so much easier to just ink up some card stock, cut it with the die and then glue it on to the card. But somehow I managed. Will NOT do it again that way, but with the help of Press 'n Seal anything is possible!


Added some circles, sequins and the sentiment, which I put on envelope liner paper. The stamps I used are by Happy Little Stampers (Mix Mash)



As the challenge says - ANYTHING is possible, just use your dies! 


So come on and play along - that's what you can win:


Linking up with:
Seize the Birthday - anything birthday, no topping for me
Cut it up - summertime memories (butterflies always remind me of summer )
Snippets Playground - use a snippet (only snippets on this card.....)

Well worth the extra effort and hassle as this is such a eye catching and fabulous card. You made me chuckle about doing it an easier way next time x I have been known to do it the harder way too!!! Vibrant colours which I love and that die is really special too x

Gorgeous vibrant card, Cornelia! Bravo for piecing everything together! I love the impact of the sentiment strip and envelope liner against the colourful images. Thanks for playing along at Seize The Birthday :)

Gorgeous way to use up your leftovers. It's such a happy, colorful card any recipient will love it. Thank goodness for Press & Seal, I think it's a lifesaver when you have lots of teeny, tiny bits, though, even with it, it's a pain in the butt.

You see, they are all similar - using both the die cut and the negative, that I cut from a die cut egg. The cute bunnies got their yearly appearance - they are from Impression Obsession. the egg is by Lifestyle Crafts. The sentiment is by Papertrey.

Dynamic Duos combined with CAS Colours and Sketches

I am getting the hang of combining challenges....not sure if that's good or bad... In the past I would just put all my "creative energy" into one challenge and then just link up with others, if the card just happened to fit...but now I do that on purpose. Well, I'll see how it goes....                           Anyhow here is the card that came out of this: I did not want to add a sentiment - I 'll add it later, when I know who will get it.
