Just Because

Hello crafters!  I started by cutting the outer die from the Diamond Radiance Background in Heather card. I glued it to the middle of a piece of white card.  Next, I cut the Dazzling Diamond set twice out of black card and once out of white card.  Using scissors, I nipped away the outer section of the Dazzling Diamond die cuts.  I cut the centre of that set twice in Heather card and glued them to the middle of the black die cuts.  I added mounting foam to the backs of all three die cuts then attached them to the card, laying down the two black die cuts first then adding the white one in the middle.  I cut the Just Because sentiment out of both heather card and black card.  I shadowed the sentiment then added it to the middle of the card.  I used the fall away pieces from the Dazzling Diamonds die set and glued a black and heather card corners into each of the card's four corners as accents.  The card was completed with white, heather and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4"  x  8 3/4"  in size.  


We are starting the May die release blog launch here tomorrow morning, starting at 6am.  I hope you can join me back here then!  All for now, Sue x

A gorgeous sample today and love the colours. It shows how a smaller die can be used so effectively on a bigger project. Looking forward to the launch tomorrow.

Hi Sue. How nice to see the type of design that can be created by snipping away at your die cuts to make a different design on your project. I never really think of doing things like this so I really appreciate you giving us ideas of what can be achieved.
