Quick and easy die cuts

Hi there … today I would like to share a quick card I made yesterday in between some DT and family card making commitments. 

I recently received some new stitched rectangle dies from Amazon and have been looking forward to using them.  I cut a stitched rectangle from a snippet of  gorgeous Bo Bunny paper which has a distressed look and faint background script, and then sponged the edges with Distress oxide ink to deepen the colour a bit more. I spattered the card base lightly with 2 colours of DO, adhered my stitched rectangle, and then attached a die cut flower spray cut from a snippet of pearlescent white card. A quick stamped sentiment, a few sparkly gems and some white Posca pen spattering on the paper, and I was done.

Unfortunately despite (or maybe because of) the very sunny weather the photography isn't very good ... photos in direct sunlight don't seem to work, but photos in shade are a little dull today!

Stamps: sentiment: Crafter's Companion - Magical Sentiements;

Media: Tim Holtz Distress oxide inks (Picked raspberry, Twisted Citron);

Tools: Memory Box Bella Bouquet die; stitched rectangle die from Amazon;

Old Bo Bunny paper and gems from my stash.
