For my card, again I chose a 5" x 7" white card. , I added a deep pink mat. The uppermost black and white polka dot card is from a block of B/W card, which I doubt I will ever use up in my lifetime. Why do we get drawn into buying such stash?I die cut the two larger and the 3 smaller circles. On the white sheet below, I stamped stars and added lots of glitter into the 3 circles. I coloured with Distres inks, using a finger dauber, around the circle area, stamped foliage and the two fairies into the remaining two circles. I then die cut a label and stamped the sentiment. All stamps used are from the Enchanted Woodland set, included in the Creative Stamping #83 magazine. Have fun, I look forward to seeing you cards with Die cuts. Take care of you and yours.
