Papertake 'Die Cuts' Challenge
The challenge at Papertakes this week is to use die cuts or punched shapes on your card. I used the Cricut to cut this cute dinosaur and the tree. I added highlights to the dinosaur with a brown felt pen and an Andriondak Pesto inkpad, which I applied with cotton buds and a piece of kitchen towel! The papers are all from Basic Grey and I embossed the green piece with the Cuttlebug to look like scales. The sentiment is from Studio G and the 3 orange brads are from my stash.

    This is so fabulous! I love the Basic Grey Archaic paper! What cartridge did you use for that dinosaur? Is that Paper Dolls (probably, because I don't have that one!!) Fantastic card!

    Hi Andrea, another great card. Isn't this dinosaur cute. And I love the added details. The embossed card is a brill idea.
    I've finially had a little time to craft so I'm a happy bunny. More costumes to do but there is light at the end of the tunnel.
    Hope you sun is shinning with you, cos it's not here at all x Vicki x
