Dies R Us #195 ~ Congrats on New Car!

 Hello and welcome to another challenge, starting today, at Dies R Us.

Challenge #195 ~ Dad's/Masculine

(as long as you use a die that is sold at Dies R Us)

My son just bought himself a new car, the sportsy kind :-)

I wanted to give him a card to go with the St. Christopher coin I got for him.

I began by die cutting all the different pieces.  The car was cut using mirror blue, mirror silver, and black cardstocks.  By cutting a few bits and pieces, I was able to paper piece it together just as I wanted. Next, I adhered all the other pieces to the card to create the scene. On the front of the card I cut out the balloons out of the same mirror blue and mirror silver cardstock. It looked a little too green so I added a few daisies to add a little something extra and break the colour.

Now for the list of supplies I used, each linked to the Dies R Us store for your convenience.

Studio Light - Card Frame SL35 (Special Order Event)

Elizabeth Craft Designs - Slimline Adventure Edges

Karen Burniston - Landscape Scenes

Marianne Design - Congrats & Balloons (Special Order Event)

Marianne Design - Daisy Punch Die (Special Order Event)

Precious Marieke - Grass Border

Frantic Stamper - Convertible Roadster

You will notice that some of the dies I used were purchased during a Special Order Event that Dies R Us holds every so often.  During these events, you can purchase European dies from companies such as Marianne Designs, Studio Light, Joy Crafts!, and a variety of others.  The best way to know about these Special Order sales is to subscribe to their newsletter HERE.
