Die Cut Dreams Guest Designer for the week

Today I am such a lucky girl, the lovely Susie and Vikki over at Die cut Dreams Challenge have asked me to be their guest designer for this weeks challenge which is Black & White. Now this really was a challenge for me lol, as I do love my pastels ! my first card is made using a Magnolia new years swirl stamp and a die cut butterfly which I have done in velvet paper. Once I had stamped the image I ran it through a cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder, then stuck some wire onto the back of the butterfly for antennae and added a few crystals to make the body. The background paper is DCWV and the sentiment is SU, the flower is prima and I have used a LeoneEm punch for the fern leaves. I am really pleased with this as I think it is very stylish but it was also very quick and easy.

My second card is using papers that I printed from a Pink Petticoat CD and also some DCWV. I have used a sizzlit shoe which is cut in velvet paper and a quickutz revo swirl, a couple of flowers from my stash, a satin ribbon and an epoxy sentiment, again from my stash. the photo doesn't show this card off very well as the textures are a bit lost, sorry.

I hope you find time to check out the Die cut Dreams Challenge blog and look at the other DT cards, which are as always amazing. thankyou again for asking me girls, it was an honour to be on your team this week.

Hugs,
