Die cuts and punches for The Craft-Room challenge DT


Well another 2 weeks have flown past and it is time for another challenge over at Craft-Room challenge and this time it was my turn to choose the theme.  I use so many die cuts and punches on all my cards that I thought this would be a great challenge, and easy to do, but because I chose the challenge and felt I wanted to do something special I found I had my first case of Cardmaker's block!  In all the years of making cards I  have never struggled for a theme or style before.  So I dug out all my dies and punches(they wouldn't all fit on my table!) and came up with the creation below, I hope you like it :o)


No DP's for this, just 2 xcut die cut circles, one pink(embossed) 1 back (plain)  I have inked the base card with pink and black.  I have used a die cut butterfly that comes in 2 pieces to create the butterfly and inked the white section with pink and used gems to decorate.  (I don't know who created this die, but it is a thin die)


Side/inside view

Close up of the butterfly

Die cut and punched flowers, leaves, butterflys and swirls with black gems as the centres and a black velvet covered brad for the centre of the largest one.
The 3 larger flowers are marianne design die cuts and the smaller flowers are xcut punches.

My Eldest nephew's Christmas pressie(part of it anyway!)

Well my eldest nephew is a big Formula 1 fan and his bedroom is black and cream!  So I hope he likes the wall canvas I have created for him :o)

Have a closer look.


The dotted backgroubnd paper isfrom stampin' up.  The B&W flag I found on the internet and used it as another background.

The racing car was found on a search on google and has been printed the coloured in with pro markers, cut out then attatched with silicon glue

The Kenny K image( pitstop penny) has been printed large, then coloured with pro markers and cut and glued like the car

The flag sentiment I created on the computer using the flags I found on the internet.  I have then backed it onto a nestoes die cut, and liquid pearled the scallops.

I will be entering this project into the following challenges
