  The Creative  Crafters starts a monthly challenge every 15th of the month and I've made Snowman Card as inspiration for this month. 

This challenge is always "Anything Goes".  
Be sure to join The Creative  Crafters challenge! 

I guess I have a thing with Snowmen and these are some cuties.  I brought out my Stickles to add some glitter and fun for the Winter season.  The background die cut adds some depth and pattern to the card.

Altenew in August

It's Time for Altenew in August


 The Challenge at Die Cut Divas this month is to make a Z Card.  

I made a "Z" card simply by folding the front of my card in half.  I didn't take measurements so I can't tell you measurements for the embossed half-panels if you wish to add panels.
I did use a die cut for the inside blue panel.  

Here's how my Z card looks like a "Z" card.  You see the "Z"?  A Clean and Simple "Z" for me.


Front of Card - I actually fell in love with this Altenew combo. I used some shiny blue paper which really added to the depth and texture of the background panels. I added Crystal Drops instead of coloring the stamens. 


Inside of Card - I thought cutting the die with no stamping might work and I'm so happy with the results. . I put glue on the un-inked die cut and matched it up with the outside die cut and pressed the whole card down very carefully.  When the card is closed, you don't see the die cut or message.

Supplies:
Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles - not on ECD website anymore
Nuvo Crystal Drops Gloss - Dandelion Yellow
Copic markers BG0000 & G40 - I picked up the wrong marker, so there is some blue under the green on the left side of the flower.
