New Dies

Good Morning Ladies,
Wow did we have the rain yesterday. But I am happy to say that my new gutters did the trick...all that rain and the basement is dry!

So I went to Joan's Gardens a week or so ago and bought some new dies by cherry lynn designs. I am diggin on these dies. They are so fun to work with.

Here is a card using one of the new dies....

This is a screen door die. It comes with two pieces of screen. But now I can see I will be headed down to the hardware store to get more screen. LOL I used white wash paper to cut the door out of. I gave it a light sanding. The dog is from inky antics. As well as the saying on the tag. I used a background stamp around the door, but as you can see I will have to take some time to perfect this technique. The screen door die also cuts a cat from the center to of the door. So no paper is wasted there. I'm telling you that you need to check out http://www.atjoansgardens.com/  She has the coolest stuff!

Happy Scraps,
Mrs. Swandog

Yes real screen, and yes I colored the dog with Prisma color pencils and gamsol.
