Hello everyone and welcome to the new Die Cuts/stencils challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More.
My Granddaughter, Alice, will be 8 next month (how did that happen!!!), and as she loves all things books and reading, I made this card for her.
I wanted to create a scene similar to her home so I began by die-cutting the floor using the Penny Black wooden floor dies and coloured them by swiping a couple of ink cubes across and placing it at the bottom of the card base. Next, I stamped the rug from the My Favorite Things Merry Christmoose stamp set and coloured it with Copic markers. I then stamped over the rug with the girl in the armchair from the MFT Our Story stamp and die set. I die-cut the chair and fussy-cut the rug before colouring it all in. Next, I had fun stamping, colouring and die-cutting all the other elements before arranging them on the card and stamping the sentiment.
The final touch was to colour the dog in the same colours as the family dog, Caspar, who can often be found in this position as Alice reads stories to him.
The Design Team have some great inspiration for you over on the ATSM Blog and it would be great if you joined us this time.
I'd like to play along at
Thanks for stopping by.
Hugs
