Die Cut Divas - Slimline Paper Piecing

  Hi there.   Over at  Die Cut Divas this month our sponsor is Rachel Vass Designs and our theme is Flowers.   

I tried something a little different with my Rachel Vass florals by paper piecing the florals.

I printed the image -Floral Border Slimline - three times... once on white card stock, one on cream colour paper and once on purple paper.   I cut the white panel with Pink Fresh Studios Essential Mini Slimline dies.  The purple layer was cut with another of the dies from that set.  I used some pencils to add some colour to coloured flowers.  I then fussy cut them and added to the base.   Just prior to Christmas I purchased a Go Press and Foil machine and ordered some Spellbinders foil dies.  This one I foiled with silver foil.  Using this machine is just another way to use your die cut machine... I use a Cuttlebug and the foiling machine goes through perfectly.

More Sunshine Daises

Hi there.  It's the last day of the month for our challenge at Die Cut Divas.  This month we have the wonder Rachel Vass Designs as our sponsor and our theme is Flowers.   Rachel Vass Designs specialized in beautiful floral hand drawn digital stamps.

I used her  Sunshine Daisies  - this is the same image I used HERE.... but check out the difference.

I printed out the image larger this time around and used a Spellbinders die to cut it out.    I used some Zig Markers to colour it up.  There are two sentiments with the Daises digital download so this time I used the simpler one.   Being able to change up the sizes really makes using Digi stamps so much fun to use.   I added a a few clear gems to finish. 

Come and join us at Die Cut Divas and show us your Flower projects.

Sunshine Daisies at Die Cut Divas

Hi there.  It's my day to share a card at Die Cut Divas.  Our sponsor this month is a new one to to the Divas

Rachel Vass Designs 

The theme for August is all about the FLOWERS.

Rachel Vass Designs specialized in beautiful floral hand drawn digital stamps.

My card uses "Sunshine Daisies" a sweet little image. 

I used a variety of Alcohol markers to colour the flowers.  A very pale blue has been used to go around the image.   The sentiment is part of the digi download.  

Rachel has a number of very beautiful floral images.  I have brought a few of them as I love flower images.

Purple Flowers.

Hi there.... I love Purple and today I'm sharing another iteration of Rachel Vass Designs Springtime Backgrounds - again in Purple but quite different to my first one (see it here)

This time I used Prismacolor pencils to colour up my flowers.  I did some that went from light to dark to colour the background.  The sentiment is one of the stripes I made the the other day with an Altenew set.  I trimmed it and backed it with the same green I used to matt the panel. 

I am so enjoying using these digi stamps.  Check out Rachel's designs here 

Hoping all my blog followers are keeping safe.  Things are really ramping up all round the world especially in the USA.  Even here in NZ we have 22 new cases - but all are returning New Zealanders in managed isolation/quarantine.  Everyone returning home has to go into managed isolation for 14 days - they get tested twice during this time.   Hoping and praying this does not get out into the community again.
