I recently won a voucher to spend at Simon Says Stamp and I bought this lovely die set after seeing so many beautiful projects using it. It was perfect for our theme this month.
Here is my card:
A closer look at the die cuts:
I decorated the inside:
I began by cutting a white card panel 4" x 5 1/4" and ink blending in the centre with 3 shades of teal ink. I also added some water droplets to add some extra interest to the background. I die cut the beautiful floral die which consisted of the main flower, 4 individual flowers and the flower centres. I cut them all from white card and lightly ink blended the lightest shade of ink in the centre of each flower. I added the large flower die cut over the ink blending with liquid glue. I added the extra flowers to the large die cut with liquid glue and also added some crystal glaze to the centres. I stamped the sentiment in the darker teal ink and die cut it with the matching die. I also cut 2 more white die cuts and stacked them together with liquid glue for extra stability. I added this panel onto my card base with foam tape. I finished off the front of my card with a few enamel dots which perfectly matched my monochromatic colour scheme. For the inside I cut another white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and lightly ink blended the bottom third. I added die cut three flowers and stamped a sentiment in the centre with the darkest teal ink. A fairly simple card but I think it is really pretty and elegant. I hope you like it.

Wow, this is beautiful, Denise! You are so talented, Jo x
I love how soft and pretty this is! Sweet card! Glad you shared it at TTTC!
Hi Denise! Your card is sensational outside and inside, but I think you've missed that NBUS has a 10-challenge limit. Your card is a beautiful monochrome design, however, and we would love to see you link it over on the Group of Seven Cardmakers blog as inspiration! Hugs, Darnell
Pretty, elegant and beautiful! Love, Love, Love!
