This die is the Countryside set and comes with that cute little dog and signpost. I didn't use all the layers so there are lots more I can do with this. Some simple inking adds a little dimension, and I added a die cut sentiment by Jillbean Soup.
This was also a good way to use up scraps from my stash. The dark gray cardstock was from the covers of accounting reports, and the green scrap was barely large enough to die cut!

Karen this is gorgeous. Yes, I know what you mean about that manufacturer. Their product is OK but they don't sell it well. I love the scene you have created here. Thanks for sharing your inventiveness with us at Unstampabelles.
ReplyDeleteYou did great - I purchased a scenic die that all fell apart once cut- [no instructions so I was dumbfounded] however, I did a search for that die and found many cards created using the die that gave me inspiration and how it worked] - I wish all products had instructions and examples - it would be helpful - yet searching the Internet often helps--- I understand what you mean - TFS and linking up at Mod Squad
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing, Karen!! I have never heard of these dies....but "Do"-crafts might be a bit of a misnomer if they are this hard to use! Ha. You made a fabulous scene. I love all the layers...feels like I am peeking in from a nearby hideaway. Great effect. I am looking forward to seeing more creations from this set or other similar ones you ordered!

Fantastic use of the dies, love the dog in the front of the scene. Hope you can find a way to simply use the dies! Emma
ReplyDeleteA Great scene and fab upcycling. Thanks for sharing with us at Unstampabelles.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Karen - but I know what you mean about some manufacturers being much more helpful with ideas. That tends to sway me in my choices - but you did create a real beauty here! Your shading added a lot as well.
