Dies R Us Mid-Month Challenge 79!










Hello sweet friends! 
Welcome to our new mid-month challenge at Dies R US! Our challenge today is anything goes using dies. So anything you want to create, any theme, any style... just use some dies on your project. 

So here is the card that I created for today's challenge.


I wanted to make a birthday card for my mom as her birthday is a week after my daughter's. My sweet daughter's birthday is on the 19th (This Saturday, turning 14!!!) and then my mom's follows next week on the 27th. So being that I already have my daughter's made, I figured with this challenge being anything goes, I would take the opportunity to make my mom's birthday card! So I started off by using the largest die in the Floral Ovals dies by Spellbinders to create my card base. I used GP cardstock for the base and I cut out another layer from beautiful shabby paper pad from the Paper Studio. I then cut out the Impression Obsession- Paper Cone Die from wood paper in the same paper pad. To the middle of the cone, I added some beautiful washi tape with gold edges. I cut some ferns, also from Spellbinders to put inside the cone. Once that was finished, I added in some beautiful flowers that I had cut using Impression Obsession- Bunch of Blossoms Dies. I added in some glitter to my flowers using my Spectrum clear sparkle pen. The sentiment was cut also from a Spellbinder's set called "Sentiment one" and I cut it twice in pink and black as I wanted it to have that black shadow effect. And to finish off my card, I added in one simple gold heart to bring out the gold in the washi tape. I hope my mama likes her birthday card this year!

  



  And that completes my card! All of the dies that I used are highlighted in the links above and can be found in the Dies R Us store HERE
