New Challenge, New DT

Good evening folks.

This is a bit late in the day for a post but once a month on the 9th at this time I will be sharing a project with you as I am now on the new HLS Anything Goes with Dies Design Team!!

I absolutely love playing with dies and I'm sure I've got more than I need, honestly, not! So when the DT call went out I just had to put my name forward and was so suprised when the lovely Kylie said, hop on board.

     

This is my first car.d for the DT

I was inspired by both the colours in the photo and the sketch from Fusion.

For this card I used the following die sets.

Avery Elle - Dotted Border dies

Poppy Stamps - Stitched Main Street Tags

Sizzix  Thinlets - Flowers

Sizzix Thinlets - Bunch of Flowers

and 

Stampin Up Sizzlet - Little Leaves

To start, I die cut a selection of flowers in white, then using DI coloured them in an ombre style, adding some buttons for centres. The dies do come with centres but I preferred to use buttons as I think they add more interest. To introduce the colours of the humming bird, I added some leaves and a coloured panel under the popped up top one. On the tag I stamped a greeting from the HLS Doodled flower set.

OK, that's me done. Pop over to the HLS site for more fab die cut inspiration and say hi to the new team.
