Allsorts Challenge ~ Die Cuts

The Allsorts Challenge #745 begins today and Lynn has chosen the theme of 'Dies'.  If you don't have any dies, you can always use the Anything Goes option.

I used a Marianne Designs square cross-stitch die.  The small mats were die cut with Memory Box 'Stitched Square Layers' dies. I use crochet cotton for the cross stitching.  The background was embossed with a Crafter's Companion 'Sashiko' embossing folder.  I added two deep yellow pearls to balance the design of my card.

Our generous sponsors this month are Craft StashAnna Marie DesignsAALL and CreateOakwood
