Sending Positive Thoughts

Hi everyone, I don’t make many cards where the primary focus is die cuts, but I made an exception for this one as it is the first outing for my new Craft Addiction slatted dies. I have been admiring them on various blogs over the summer and stalking the Craft Addictions website to try to get my quivering paws on them but they had all been out of stock … until now! I finally managed to get my hands on a couple of sets last week but things have been hectic here since then, so here’s the result of my first play with them.

I die cut a stitched square of white stamping card and embossed with a floral embossing folder. I die cut a large slatted square, then cut a fractionally smaller square of ombré glitter card to stick behind it. I die cut two flowers from pink glitter card then attached the slatted square and flowers to the embossed panel. I stamped, cut out and attached the sentiment, and added a silver die cut mirror card butterfly which I found already cut in my cupboard. I added some pink Distress Oxide round the edges of the embossed panel, then attached to a 6” square card blank.
