A Farewell to Elizabeth Craft Designs for This Month.

The Die Cut Divas' Theme is "Your Favorite Die Cut Shapes".

You only have until 9:00 p.m. tonight to enter here. 

I think we all have many favorite die cuts from square or round to houses and forests.  My first card is a slimline card, which I haven't done in quite some time.  I've cut an Elizabeth Craft Designs (ECD) fence to make it into train tracks by cutting off the fence tops.  I had fallen in love with a card from an ECD DT when these die cuts came out and had to get that fence just to make train tracks.  

I made my own sky and couldn't find my ECD cloud stencil so I chose Broken China Distress Oxide ink to sponge in a sky.  I tore up some paper and sponged away on the panel.  I put the sponged panel down and realized I had made mountains instead of clouds.  This is one mistake I love.  I always hate to give away my train cards.  

For my next card, I only used the train engine and made a mini slimline card.  I used this dotted patterned paper because somehow it just reminds me of a blue sky with snowflakes and is a bit whimsical. 

 I happen to like using Nuvo drops for those small dots that seem to disappear upon taking them out of the dies, no matter how I try to corral them,
