Sizzix diorama die

Hi fellow bloggers - I got tempted to buy some dies from the sizzix sale and here is a card from one of them the diorama card thinlit set. It was a bit of a learning curve to work out how all the bits could be used and what I have discovered is that it is a very versatile set of dies that can be used in all sorts of ways and not just for the diorama style. I will try out some other options and post them. For this card I decided to use a floral theme and found one of my embossing folders to give the back some added interest and then used a variety of sizzix flower dies to add additional embellishments - I decided that to justify my spend I can say that my paper stash will be cut!!! Lol! The stamp is one of my orphan clear stamps.

Have a good crafty day :)

LiM 189 - one layer

hi fellow bloggers - another weekend and I am still waiting for the sun to come out to dry my washing!! However it hasn't stopped me crafting and making an entry for the LiM challenge this week.

I have used part of a sizzix embossing folder on one edge that complements  the stamp/theme of my card. Then I have used the waste from a sizzix thinli

ts heart die cut to create the background to the stamped image. The stamp is  to represent some form of beverage and I have used, one from my stash that I bought by Anita's, and is a romantically themed stamp that I have used before for anniversary/similar cards.

The backgound has been inked with a hero arts shadow ink pad and I have stamped the image with memento. The colour theme I have used is monochrome.
