Die-Namites Man Week/Father's Day Card with Tina

Hi Everyone,
Today is Day 4 for Man Week.  By now you've seen what other team mates have created.  Are you blown away like I am.  Father's Day is right around the corner. 

Today I am sharing with you a card I made using the Cattails Die from Die-Namites. 

 

 

The papers are from Echo Park 6x6 paper pad - Reflections.  They are a great masculine set of papers.  I cut out one of the clocks and used Tim Holtz Idea-ology mini gears and game spinners to create a realistic clock. 

 

 

I used a dollar store butterfly and distress markers with a waterbrush to give the butterfly colors to match the papers.  The floss is from We R Memory Keepers - Slate.  The star button is from Jillibean Soup - Cool Beans. 

 

 

For my sentiment I used distress ink on my mat with water and passed the paper over the ink.  Then I printed the sentiment.  TFL!

 

Die-Namites with Multiple Dies

Happy Sunday Everyone!
I'd like to end with the week with a card I did using multiple dies from Die-Namites.  I went crazy and used 3.  The dies used are the following.

Cattails

 

 

I used a Derwent Inktense pencil with a waterbrush to add some shading.

 

I used the Spring Doily

 

 

I used distress inks with water on a mat and blended the colors.

 

 

I used the Leafy Flourish on green cardstock.

  

 

The papers are so soft and pretty from Bo Bunny 6x6 paper pad - Country Garden Collection.  The butterflies are from the local dollar store.  The flowers and leaves are from I Am Roses.  I used distress ink with water to mix the colors on the sentiment. TFL!

Die-Namites With Caterpillar Branch

Hi Everyone,
It's starting to feel more like Spring.  Which inspired me to create something Springy.  What could be more Springy than Caterpillars.  For my card I used the die Caterpillar Branch from Die-Namites. 

I passed two different papers.  One pink and one green. 

The green cut was used as a base and the pink one I cut out every flower and paper pierced it to the green.  I distressed the pink flowers.

And then I used brads for the center of my flowers.  The brads are also used to hold the cut out to my paper, so I used no adhesive.

 

And here is the finished card.  The papers are from Prima 6x6 paper pad - Melody.  The flowers are from I am Roses. The leaves stem is from the local Dollar Store.  TFL!

April Sketch Challenge At The Die-Namites Challenge Blog

Hi Everyone,
It's Tina today showing you another creation using the Die~Namites April Sketch Challenge.

I am so happy with the results. With Spring finally here I wanted to make an earthy card and once that was done I knew it was for my mother for Mother's Day. Can you believe it will be next month?

I used the "Small Ivy" die.

Love the effect it created around my flowers. I cut it into two parts using it around the flowers. The burlap sack I had was from a package from Coffee Beans. I am so happy I kept that. I used sand paper and a crumper to create a woodsy paper background. The flowers are a mixture of the Prima and I Am Roses. The stems are from the local dollar store. They come in handy sometimes. I used Adirondack Color Wash spray because I needed a big orange flower.

Here are the results. TFL and have a wonderful weekend.
