Cut it Up Challenge 295 - Always a Reason to Smile

 Cut it Up is a brand new design team for me and this is my first challenge with them!

The challenge blog is all about die cuts - please visit the Cut it Up Challenge Blog for detailed information. 

The theme for this challenge is "a new year". A new year means a fresh start so we are asking you to use new products for your creation. 

I just picked up a new set of dies today! I did some playing around and decided to use a colour combination of pink, purple and green. I die cut the florals and leaves and added a few greenery stems from other die sets to fill in the gaps. The pieces were inked for dimension and assembled on a die cut background. I heat embossed the sentiment in white and stacked it three times before adding it to the front. Some clear gems were placed around the card and I used a white gel pen to add details to the flowers. 

Come and join us at Cut it Up and show us how you interpret this challenge. 

You have two weeks to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy, 

Alyson
