Doily die and Rudbeckia


Hi again. I know these Doily Dies are hard to get your hands on at the moment due to their popularity but I thought I'd show you another card using one of them anyhow....
This is the Simplicity Doily Circle die just peeping over the top of the image panel  - a bit like an arched frame - and its coordinating border punch (Doily Border) along the bottom of the panel. I love the way these  dies and punches match for a fully coordinated look.
I've gone bright again to cheer myself up in this terrible weather we are having. There was thunder and torrential rain here yesterday again...
The stamp is Rudbeckia from the Pick of the Bunch collection by Tonic Studios and its natural colour scheme is orange/yellow but I just decided to use artistic license and colour the flowers in Carmine and lilac instead to match the paper. The little butterfly from the same set got the same colour treatment plus a little glitter.
