(J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings)

Supplies:

Lace-Up Moon and Stars; Cricut Tag/Stars; Twine; VersaMark ink pad; Gold Embossing Powder; Heat Tool; Blue Belle Sequins; Shimmer Brush

French Dies {Fri}: Starbursts + Multi Circles Windows

Hello, Kraftie Friends!

I have a couple of cards to share today, using die cuts from my scrap box...I found these starburst die cuts (CTMH Cricut Artbooking) and decided to use them all!

First card was for a sketch challenge, but I missed the deadline to link (of course)...

I added a left over negative cut, some stamping (dotted lines is CTMH You're My Jam), and some Blue Belle Sequins. Die Cuts were colored with Shimmer Brush and adhered on with foam dots.

For the second card, I layered the die cuts and also colored alternating layers with Shimmer Brush. I trimmed 2 of them shorter before layering the Flowers (Every Bit of Wonderful) with foam tape. Flowers were colored with clear and yellow Shimmer Brushes...

I adhered the Multi Circle Windows on card, arranged the floral cluster, splattered Clear Shimmer Brush, and added some Blue Belle Sequins.

Challenges:

1. Crafts Galore Encore #80: AGoes

2. Creative Finger #195: AGoes

3. Love to Craft #51: AGoes

4. QKR Stampede #406: AGoes

Card #1 sketch was from Freshly Made Sketches #452
