You Brighten My Day

Hi Crafty Friends,

It’s challenge time with the “Crazies” over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. As challenge hostess for the month, I finish off the month with one last challenge.

Our challenge this week is .....

I love the look of inlaid de cutting using alphabet or word dies over a design on a card which is becoming popularly known as the Eclipse Technique. 

For my card today I pulled out my Painted Peonies stamp set from The Ton which I purchased earlier in the year and hadn't gotten around to using. 

For the Inlaid Die Cutting /Eclipse Technique part of the card I die cut the word "YOU" using the Alphabet set from Karen Burniston.

The "Brighten My Day" sentiment is from a Honey Bee Stamps stamp set.

For the inside of the card I created a pop-up card using the Katherine Label Pop-up die set adding a sentiment from the Painted Peonies stamp set.

I die cut one of the edges from the MFT Stamps Stitched Scallop Basic Edges die set and stamped the peonies over the panels for both the top and bottom of the card.

Here is a side on look at my card so you can see the pop-up portion of the card a little better.

Don't forget to check out the rest of the “Crazies” cards over on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog and also their individual blogs for more details.
