Use a Die Cut

Hello from a very foggy SW Scotland! I've just been outside to fill up the coal bucket and had to walk through a thick wall of mist - it feels a bit like walking through wet candyfloss!

Anyway, here I am to tell you about the penultimate challenge of the year over at Lovely hAnglar or Sweet Magnolia.  This fortnight you need to add a die cut to your project - remember that you need to use a hAnglar & StAnglar or Magnolia product as well if you want to be eligible for a prize. 

I'm now in panic Christmas mode so for my DT card I used some red Magnolia Christmas paper that was on my desk:

 
 
 
I used a Go Kreate die set for the various layers and popped some Doohickey flowers under the WOC roses.  The little hAnglar girlie has been coloured with my favourite red Copics (R24, R27, R29 and a touch of R39) and I added lots of sparkle with some Glamour Dust.  Apologies for the photo (again).  I've bitten the bullet and ordered a light box, so I'll let you know how I get on with it.  Hope it's worth the money!

How do you do this? You take a nice little image and turn it into a magnificent card without too many embellishments, without fancy anything, and it is fabulous?! Your talent is amazing and your eye for color and design are wonderful. Hugs, Gail
