Dies R Us #197 ~ Madonna

 

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

Christmas in July is when my Christmas fun begins.  It's all about Christmas from now on, taking a little bread for Halloween and Thanksgiving.  I've already spent a few hours going thru the stores admiring all the new Christmas decor that has come out for this year, while humming Christmas songs in my head. 😀

Challenge #197 ~ Anything Goes

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

If you enjoy paper piecing then this Madonna die is the die for you. I cut it out of white, blue, beige, and gold cardstocks. Using the white as my base, I paper pieced the other colours. I think it's beautiful.  I didn't want the focus to be taken away from this die, so I went looking thru all my background dies and frames and thought that this Ice Flower Frame would be perfect.  Just paper pieced a few gold stars as accents and my card was done.  If you're running short on time and need to mass produce, this is easy, simple and beautiful, in my opinion anyway 😀

Here are the couple of dies I used.  I linked them to the Dies R Us store for your convenience.

Tutti Designs - Madonna
