Rectangle Hues of Happiness

Howdy crafty friends, todays blog hop is featuring "Stand alone Dies". I know that I love when a stamp set has coordinating dies, but we also need dies for basic shapes, and to honest at times these dies are the heroes of our projects - my "go-to" die sets for are the Stitched Rectangle Dies & Stylish Shapes Dies, today I chose to highlight the Stitched Rectangle Dies.

I selected the 2 dies that are the same width, and cut into a piece of Hues of Happiness DSP. These dies look fabulous on this sheet of DSP, there is a linen look texture through the design, reminding me of oil paintings. I also cut a matching set in Night of Navy and adhered to the DSP die cuts.

Next I stamped my card mat using the largest flower from the Happiness Abounds stamp set with VersaMark ink - this gives a lovely effect that breaks up the background, yet doesn't over power or clash with the DSP.

After adhering the Die cuts and card mat to the card I finished by stamping the sentiment on a strip of So Saffron, adding and offsetting a small strip of Night of Navy below, then added a touch of bling with Brushed Metallic Dots to finish the design.
