Stretch Your Dies - Day 6 - Border Dies

This is so fun!  Just think ... vacation for a week + an online card class!  Today's Online Card Classes Stretch Your Dies lessons are about using your border dies.  I used my Die-namics Snow Drifts die by My Favorite Things; it can be used for lots more than just snow!.  For the rainbow, I used my brand-new You and Me die by Sizzix.  The stamp is also new, and it's from the Stampabilities Card Phrases set from Hobby Lobby.

UPDATE!  There was a discussion on the class forum about keeping our workspace tidy.  Yesterday, I managed to straighten up my area, and while I was working today, I did my best to put everything away as I used it.  Here's what the main area looks like right now:

 

 

Remember!  Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right!

Watercolor Hello

This is going out to a friend who is in the hospital.  I had so much fun trying out the watercoloring techniques I've seen online recently.  I colored some paper with several colors of Tim Holtz' Distress Inks a few weeks ago, and it was sitting in my stash.  I decided to use my new My Favorite Things' Snow Drifts die that I purchased last month at Violette's Scrapbook Store in Lakeland, Florida.  (If you are in the Tampa/Orlando area, it's a quick trip ... I promise you won't be disappointed!)

Then, I layered on the Simon Says Stamp Big Hello Die which I highlighted with my Wink of Stella Clear Brush.  Love it!
