Recently I've been shopping my stash more. It's easy to be distracted with new products and ignore purchases not yet inked or cut. As the adage says, I'm a crafter and therefore I hoard! The Hero Arts Paper Layering Neighborhood die D1535 caught my eye last fall. I have an older large HA village stamp that I've neglected but it didn't prevent this die from joining my architecture collection. Using houses and city buildings varies card designs from my go-to florals and is appropriate for many situations and individuals.

Love the phrase "shopping your stash." I've been trying to do the same. I've been away for five days, and anxious to get back to the crafting table. I don't think I've ever seen this die before, but I can see why you were attracted to it. Both versions are lovely!
ReplyDeleteOh Oh!! I love these cards!! each one is so different and both over the top great!! The coloring is superb!! on your first card and the second is just so elegant!! Well done A+++
ReplyDeleteWhat a unique die, Vikki, and what a fabulous job of coloring all those little houses. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteI would never have gotten that die--not knowing what to do with it, but you've made 2 totally different & fabulous cards, Vikki! I love them both!
ReplyDeleteThese caught my eye, as I fell in love with and bought that HA die recently as well. Pinning to copy your fabulous ideas....love the water coloring and also the idea to use texture behind. Wish I had seen that challenge, as I also have an enormous house, building and skyline stamp and die collection. Can you say...obsessive!!
