An easy peasy challenge for you at
We would love to see your projects with either dies or stencils...you know you have one or other in your stash that you could use!! Remember to tell us why you have made your choice though.
It's dies for me, all day long. I have so many, old favourites and new ones (that I just had to have!!) that have never been opened!! Sound familiar? There are so many available from basic shapes, like I have used here for matting, to hugely intricate panels and sentiments to add interest to cards and other paper or mixed media projects.
I have used here a LOTV rubber stamp, coloured with Promarkers, and Snow Princess paper (also LOTV now retired but available here in digital form). My Dies are mainly from Tonic and the circular sentiment was a freebie that came with a magazine.
I look forward to seeing what you share with us.
That is me for now...see you when I do xx

ReplyDeleteA few months ago I would have said dies every time but now my stencils are giving them a good run for their money.:) xx
Beautiful....love the shapes you used & that sweet image. Dies for me too, think they're a bit of an addiction! xx
ReplyDeleteHe's a happy chappies Sarah and very much like the lilac and green colour combo. Guess you are also being blown about by these winds and rains, we've just had one heck of a hail storm, the dogs all went running for the cover of tables even the labs who are usually chilled about most weather.
