Oh yes!!! I was so please to read that our dear friend Darnell has resurrected the NBUS challenge and has created a blog just for our Never-Before-Used-Schtuff cards.... thank you Darnell.
NBUS challlenge #13......
This Protea die was one of those... oh yes I just have to have it and lucky for me on that day a couple of months back, the store had a 40% off sale... which makes it even better.
So I've used it for the first time on this card. I die cut the flower and used Distress Oxide inks to blend colour over it using post-it note scraps to mask areas.... that was the easy bit. Finding some matching card stock and deciding on a layout was the hard bit... eventually I chose these colours as the enhanced the colours in the flower. To finish I stamped and white embossed the sentiment.
Thanks for stopping by my blog --- have a Happy Day and Stay Safe
