The Summer Shadows dies are such a joy to create with that I couldn't pass up another week of using them.. here's today's creations.
And a little closer look at those half flowers and leaves...
These layering dies give you depth and beautiful highlighting that is so easy and makes you look like a pro. You can do a contrast in colors as we've done here--using the black to give that sharp crisp overlay. Or you can use two shades of a color--for example two shades of blue as we did for these flowers in one of our earlier creations..this give less contrast but still a good depth of the image ....
Remember you can get this die set free with a $100 purchase during Sale-a-bration! And you may notice that we are using the FREE Designer Series Paper (Beautifully Penned) that is a $50 free item during Sale-a-bration.
