Monday Challenge

Good Morning Ladies,

Well I have a completely different kind of challenge for you this week.......

I would like you to dig to the very bottom of you die collections and choose a die, it could be anything you have bought more than a year ago (roughly). I would then like you to makes card with Adding something new, that you have bought recently.

I used the Sue Wilson Background Die and mixed it with Stampin'Up! "Lots of Lovely' stamp, Berry Burst card, to embellish I used a few flowers from my stash and Berry Burst Metallic edged ribbon.
I think it works, I faffed about with so many different combinations I didn't end up finishing this card until 12:40am !

I forgot just how pretty and intricate some of these old dies were, I think we all forget to go further back in our die collections, we get a few new ones and slowly the older ones move further and further back. 
I do think that the dies "are" the card though, you don't put as much of your own creativity into a card like this, it's really all about embellishing the die cut.

You could use new inks with an old die, new stamp, or Digi image, Pat you could combine a piece of Groovi artwork with an old frame die.

It was lovely to read about your Easter Sunday, Paul and I didn't have any Easter Eggs, I always get one for the children but I personally think they are huge waste of money, much better off with a big bar of chocolate 1lb for £ !!
We did find a Fruit and Nut Toblerone that bought on the Ferry on the way home last year, some boxes still contain treasure !!! Haha, Paul looked like he'd hit the jackpot!

I hope you all have a lovely Holiday Monday, I don't think we are due any snow as forecast earlier in the week, I'm hoping there isn't any more rain either as the River Thames is about 500yards or so from our garden and it has already massively burst it's banks, flooding near by fields and gardens, the river is running so fast too.

Sending love and hugs to all of you,

Sandra
