Hello my Doodlebugs friends! I challenged myself to create more than one card design but limited myself to ONE [or two] dies... think I can do it? You'd be amazed what can happen when you get the creative juices flowing and a bit of color cardstock come to the party!
After cutting these Dainty Leaves from several different colors + white, I went back to my stash to see what might complement them - since they are indeed dainty, I thought this big bold Mega Hello from Altenew made a wonderful place to tuck them. Now you know I had to utilize the negative cut from that panel ... here's card two:
Where those Pinkfresh Studio gems were used to accent on card one, a bit of Stickles
adds a little whimsy on card two. You might notice that I saved all the bits from my hello to tuck back into the negative spaces.
One more...
One never knows when a sympathy card will be needed - isn't that Peace die lovely? I have my heart set on their Miss You and Mega Happy dies next!
How about another look?

ReplyDeleteSimplicity at its best, Michele. The few colors of the dainty leaves was all that was needed to make an impact.

ReplyDeleteThree beautiful ways to use this fantastic die! Love the colors and how they tuck in to the sentiments so beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you challenged yourself and the results are fabulous! They're all pretty, but the first one is my favorite. I like the way you tucked the sprigs in kind of willy-nilly!
ReplyDeleteWow, wow, wow, nice job at limiting yourself to one or two dies Michele! I am so loving these cards. That leaf die is so pretty, but you have really made it shine in all of your cards!
