Purple poppies
Border dies are a great way of filling in space! in the last year while I was not blogging my style changed I think and I now prefer simpler cards. As usual the image is colored with pencils. This time I used Prismacolor pencils.

Border dies
i have had 3 sets of Spellbinders border dies for a long time and hadn't used them. These are some cards I made the other day using some of them. I used the same stamp from Hero Arts on all of them and colored them in different colors using pencils. The sentiment stamps are from different sets.

Persian Motifs
I love the stamp set Persian Motifs from Altenew. Both cards are colored with pencils. I love the look of coloring on textured colored cardstock.

Challenge
On my Yahoo group we take it in turns to issue a challenge. I finally got last week's challenge done before there is a new one tomorrow. I have had company so not so much time to spend stamping! The challenge was to make a spotlight card. I made two just because!

How I made the Believe card.
I was asked for a tutorial for the Believe card. It is pretty easy to make.
What you need:
A card base
Panel the same size as card front.
Stamp
Stamp positioner or MISTI stamp tool
Shape die
Word die
Stamp your chosen image on your card base and again on a panel the same size as your card base. Use a stamp positioner or a MISTI stamp tool to make sure that both images are positioned in the same place. Color both images exactly the same. Use a shape die to cut an aperture in the panel over the stamped image. Cut the panel 1/4" smaller than the card base. (1/8" on each side) Use dimensional tape to attach the panel so that the image on the aperture and the image on the card base line up. Glue a word die cut across the aperture.
That's it!
