Happy Inspiration Holly-Day Friday!
I am so glad it's Friday and I have the weekend off! Whoo Hoo!!! What are you doing this weekend? I hope you have a chance to get some stamps inky and create something beautiful.
Today is my day to showcase something over at the Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Blog. In celebration of Laura adding some new La La Land Dies, I decided to use my new Beret Marci image and the bench (soon to be added), Tree and Corner Filigree Die. I also used my My Favorite Things grass border die and the yummy background paper is Echo Park - Love Story. I inked up Marci with my Black Memento Ink and glued down my dies with the Best Glue Ever. And I added some pearls here and there. Remember, if you do not see the item you are looking for in the store to email Laura and she will let you know when she can get that for you. It's so pleasantly surprising to email a store owner and ask for a certain product and have her email you right back and let you know when it will be available to you. I love that about her!
I have been waiting for these dies to hit the store for a while so I am super excited about them being added. I love this tree die! There are so many doily opportunities I can think of to use it for. And I love that the filigree corner matches and that they go together. I had some frustration last summer when I used these for the first time. Any die this intricate is going to take some work to cut out. I added a double shim of card stock to my big shot and ran it through three times and viola, it cut perfectly! Same with the corner and the bench. I added three layers of grass border to added to the dimension for the bench. I LOVE my dies!!!
Have you seen our Challenge this week? So easy - anything goes! I hope you have a chance to upload and join us this week. Have you seen the NEW ITEMS in the store? Trust me, you will want to see these!!!

Sorry I didn't respond earlier. We've been without power since Friday at 6PM and just got it back at 4:18PM Sunday (because of Blizzard) NEMO...tough to have 15 degree temps and no heat...but we survived.
Your card is too darn cute. No wonder you couldn't wait to play with your new dies and that adorable image.
So pretty! Love the gorgeous and lush scenery..
A very cute card, great coloring and I like that fence.
