Top Note Die - Cards

I wanted to make something a little bit fancy LOL, always a challenge for me.  I follow a blog Stamp with Tam and she had this sketch up from "try stampin on Tuesdays #56,

so I played along as I wanted a few card samples using our fabulous top note die.
This is what I made - nice and simpleManhatton Rose with the rose highlighted by using the SU marker on its side to enable the colour to bleed onto the raised sections of the card.

Then I fancied it up a little...

114517 Manhatton Rose Embossing Folder on confetti white, coloured with a real red marker. Base card is real red to match.

Then I started to play....

I used 119277 Elegant Lines embossing folder on Lucky Limade and Cajuan Craze.  The flower and butterfly are Embosslit Dies from SU 114515 Flower Burst and 118138 Beautiful Wings

 Then I started to surf and found this on Lyn Pratt's blog - how cool is this!

Cream Confetti and one of our current in colours Poppy Parade is the cardstock featured in this card along with the stamp set 124976 (WM) Field Flowers

Then something OLD, (old being old DSP). I made this several months ago, using the Top Note die and scraps of paper.  The flower is a combination of stacking two flowers from 121812 Fun flowers and 115971 Blossom Party.   The brad from our sale-a-bration brad and ribbon pack.

Whisper White, Lucky Limeade, Vintage Wall Paper EF, Fun Flowers Big Shot Die and Blossom Party Big Shot Die, Curly Cute
