Below is a list dies used

Memory Box Row of Poppies - MBD 99137

Other Products

Simply Defined Textured Glimmer Sheet

Swiss dots embossing folder

Memento Sky Blue ink

Project Instructions:
What's interesting about this frame die from Impression Obsession, it is one die, but when you cut all (6) frames cut at the same time. I used the large outer and the next outer die to frame the memory box poppies. I wanted to reflect the color of the poppies, so I used a shimmer sheet. I cut the elizabeth craft butterfly on yellow cardstock and used some scrap bling paper for the back. I sponged the the clouds and give them a little lift with embossing dots.

Kindly take a jog and check out all of the fabulous dies available at the Dies R Us Store; and do not forget to come join in the fun at the Dies R Us Challenge Blog! A new challenge is offered on the 1st and 15th of each month with a Gift Certificate to one winner each challenge. That winner could by You!
