Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we
would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Hilary of
Flowers
with a wonderful prize for the winner from
Our prize this month is a £25 store voucher from Personal Impressions (inc
pps, winner meets costs of any additional spend). Personal Impressions
is one of the UK’s leading brand managers/wholesalers/distributors in
the arts and crafts industry, specialising in mixed media, papercrafts,
card-making, scrapbooking and journaling. PI are proud to represent over 70 brands from global, recognisable brands to small, niche and new. A lovely subject, which I'm sure we all love. I have numerous flower stamps, but I went for an old one. I also wanted to use a new die and a new technique to me.
I stamped the flower twice on pieces of the same card, then coloured with DI's side by side, trying to copy one to the other. Next, I die cut a slatted square in the top piece and die cut it again, adding a scalloped edge. Then, I 3D attached the bottom piece, matching it to the top.
I found this sentiment in my files, copied from somewhere, which I printed and die cut to match the top layer. I also found a music file that I cut with the Silhouette, which I added to the edge of both the top pieces.

Here are more photos of our Green Woodpecker, he's come back again, this time not flying away from the Magpie, but hiding from him. The photos were taken in the rain, so not good, but I hope you can see him.

Your card is AMAZING Faith!! Gorgeous image, but it's the layering and cutting slats that takes this card to a whole new level. Very creative, my friend! xx
A gorgeous card love the effect .
Gorgeous card and design. The woodpecker is marvellous, so magical to see different wildlife so close up
Love the design you have here Faith, I mean that slatted image looks amazing. The woodpecker is doing well hiding like that, bless him. xx
This is fabulous Faith, I love everything about it. I so hope these dies will come back into stock as I’ve not managed to get my hands on them yet! xx
Gorgeous card and beautiful flowers, great technique with the fabulous slatted die.

Lovel your card, great design. Great woodpecker. Anesha x
Been totally fascinated by this design since I first saw it Faith, so different and beautifully done thinking outside the box.
Just been watch our Green rushing around pecking at food, just had a shower so nice and soft for all that pecking.

Fabulous and unique card, great idea!
Such a stunning card, love the cut outs. Glad your bird has returned! xoxo
What a stunning design Faith, it looks fabulous. Took me a second to spot the woodpecker though xx
Beautiful card, Faith! The die cutting on the card front creates such a gorgeous effect.
Such a pretty and delicate card. Love the little music bar at the bottom and sentiment.
Hi Faith-I saw your comment on Doreens blog-blogger decided last year you could only follow 200 blogs??? If you go into settings and unfollow blogs and challenges that are no longer active then it's fine-it's shows how many blogs are no longer active and how many challenges have closed down.

Wow, what a fabulous card made with a very interesting die. I've not seen one like that before. Great job!
I think the Flora Musica CB stamp works brilliantly for this technique Faith and the rectangular slatted die is perfect and shows off the technique beautifully, and I love the die cut music and coordinating sentiment too...a gorgeous card. x
It's a beautiful card Faith. The stamp and music notes work beautifully with that die. I have a smaller one of these but haven't yet used it! Your Woodpecker blends into the tree perfectly!
What a gorgeous card you’ve made here Faith. Love your slatted die cut image and the music embellishment along with the sentiment.
At least the woodpecker had learnt to hide from the magpie! X
Beautifully artsy card! Love seeing the woodpecker pictures and how great he's braver!
