Easter Flourish...

I recently purchased the Fancy Flourish die made by Cheery Designs and came up with another Easter card...


I really got the compliments on this at the retreat!  Stamp is from The Angel Company.


I ran the white panel through the Cuttlebug Dotted Swiss embossing folder.  I had some purple scraps and when I found purple little flowers in the Assorted Gem & Pearl collection I really took off!  Now that top leaf had a bit of glue come through it when I adhered it so a little rhinestone hid the boo-boo! But now I have the die cut negative to play with!!!


I had some sticky stuff on the negative and couldn't get it off until I sanded which ended up giving a distressed look in that spot. So.... I added some more sanding, layered on darker green and added the big rhinestones!  Voila!! How fun! I can still stamp something in the "blank" areas on this to fit the occasion when I'm ready to use it.  Have you used the negative of a die cut??

Carol I love what you did with this stamp. It is a stamp set I used often from the Angel Company.

What great use of the stash generated by an 'original' project! Yes, back in the days of the original Sizzix diecutting, those negs were the other half of a card's interior or the front on a second card, as you have so defltly done. Wow! Sanding and some stone gems glimmering in the sun gave spunky perks to a best of show second card. Way to go, Carol!
