Dragonfly Dreams Challenge ~ Use a Die

I was delighted to be invited to be a Guest Designer for the Dragonfly Dreams April Challenge.  The theme this month is 'Use a Die'.

I decided to make a masculine card for a friend.  To make the card base I used a Spellbinders 'Happy Days' die.  The papers are from a paper pad from The Works and I added four punched stars on the steps. The sentiment was made with Creative Expressions dies, 'Mini Shadowed Sentiments - Happy Birthday', which cuts out the words and the shadow background.

  6. Great choice of paper for this clever card - jolly useful to have a die to cut it rather than fiddle with measurements and a craft knife.
