Second chance

 Last week I took a box of craft items to my local charity shop - lots of paper -punches that have now been replaced with dies -embossing folders which came with magazines that have never been used - embellishments and other bits I no longer use .  I also threw away partial sheets of peel off stickers in gold and silver ,some of these were over 20 years old .

The tree die was also in the charity box , used once in 2019  . I gave it a second chance and made this Christmas card - I'm not sure I like it any better 5 years done the  line - it may well be in the next donation box.

Do you have this die from Kaisercraft  and what have you made with it.

you are 2 today

I'm having trouble getting this to lay flat after embossing directly on the card base , perhaps I should have cut a front panel. I know I will lose some of the dimension but I'm going to run it through my machine to hopefully straighten it out.

Embossing folder from Couture Creations / Falling florals

I embossed and coloured the whole panel and then die a circle which was then inked with grey. It looked bit flat directly on the purple cardstock but by adding a silver layer underneath it seemed to bring a bit more life into the image.

 Passion for Markers - week 756 - Christmas - I had to laugh when I saw this week was Christmas - I made a card for last weeks challenge shaped cards I just didn't get time to post it on my blog. 

So it was ready to go.
