on Pinterest. This is where I found the young lady shopper  .

Use Dies as Main Feature


Hello, I hope you and yours are safe and well. 
If you keep crafting, I am finding it helps to keep 
your mind on creating rather than the virus.
Mind you I have no idea, yet, what I will do with all
the cards I am making. Who cares!?
Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz
Dawn has chosen # 243 Use Dies as Main Feature
Now I will be honest from the off set, I am a stamper,
it's impossible for me to count how many I have. 
The only dies I mainly have are shapes and words, 
which is how I created my card. 
Black card for a rectangle and a circle die.
Papers from Making Cards & Papercraft Magazine.
'Hello' die from my stash.

Crafting is good for your well  being, so I am hoping you will join us.
Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday, chosen by me,
Spring Flowers
Please visit the blog for details and to see the wonderful
inspirational cards from the design team. 
I have a 6" sq. white 4 card, along the bottom of the card, I stamped
directly onto the card with a selection of Wayside Grasses by
Stamps Away, when dry, I lightly coloured with Promarkers.
The main image is a stamp of unknown make, I bought it for
 50p at a craft event, the only markings on it are 
Casa de flores - I coloured the image again using Promarkers.
I decoupaged the bowl of hyacinths.
Matted onto yellow and green card.
