Hello friends! I have two posts today. For the Altenew March Stamp/Die Release, please click here
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge !! Thank you for joining us for the "Bit O' Green" Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too :-)
This week the challenge is...
Use More Than One Die or Punch
We are using Memory Box products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some, we love to see them used :-)
For my project, I took a slightly different approach and used one die cut in multiple ways.
This die "Sketch Floral Craft Die" is simply lovely!
It has such fine details with the flower and petals. I gathered my DIY paper from using Altenew's Sprays and made a few die cut. My paper was made from Bristol paper and the mix of Altenew Sprays.

My multiple ways of using this die:
Inlaid Die: part of the petals/leaves were glued back where it was die cut
Dry-embossing: Die cutting with "Sketch Floral Craft Die" and Embossing Mat ( I used the reversed/embossed background, much like the letterpress result)
Negative Die Cutting: (use the negative parts for embellishments)
A few splatter of Green Wink of Stella was what's needed. I can't help adding a bow with silver strings. The sentiment is from Friendship Blooms.
As always, Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!

This is gorgeous! Love the different ways you have used this due. Sending hugs x
Three wonderful ways to showcase this pretty flower and its versatility! I often forget to use my dies to emboss. Your card: gorgeous!

What a great way to use the die, Virginia! LOVE your design!
I saw your gorgeous card on Instagram and just had to know how you did it. I'll try the die embossing technique, is it like embossing a stencil?
Ooooh, this is wispy, whimsical and just delightful!!
Just love the falling petals, Virginia - cool use of this die!!
Beautiful card, that flower die is awesome! I think I need it!
Whatever approach you took, it is the right one. Love the background, of course, but the star of the show is those delicate, lacy, vibrantly colored blooms. Reminds me of freesia and evokes a feeling of Spring.
This is very beautiful card and clever use of the die's negative pieces.
Gorgeous card!!! I love the layers and the embossed white flowers definitely added to the bouquet, so precious!
Absolutely gorgeous, Virginia! I love how you also used the flower to make a background impression!
