Celebrate Card, using Creative Expressions French Collection Dies by Sue Wilson

Hello friends and welcome back!  
 Today Im sharing a "Celebrate" Card that I created in warm grays and white colors. I used the fab Creative Expressions, French Collection, Provence Dies by Sue Wilson.

So lovin' these quality dies for their intricate cuts...  
 
same card, different angle, different lighting ...

"CELEBRATE" CARD RECIPE 
These fabulous SW dies layer up so beautifully. I cut the Provence Craft Die into two panels and separated it for expanding the dies edges. The layers are on dimensional tape. The Metal Accent Flower was originally black, but I changed its color with a silver liquid metal marker to match the DP's grays. Sickles and Glitter outline main panel and outer panel. Also added rhinestones to the Ribbon and panels and stickles glitter to edges for the finishing touches.


Stamps: TPC Studio, Whimsy Greetings "Celebrate" Clear Stamps
Paper: White Heavy CS, Warm Gray DP - Best Occasions - Mixed Media Pack
Paper Size: 5  x 7
Ink: Stampin' Up! Black
Accessories:  Creative Expressions  French Collection, Provence Craft Dies designed by the lovely Sue Wilson, Cuttlebug EF, SU Oval Punches, CM Corner Punch, Stickles, MS Glitter, Rhinestones, Satin Ribbon, Girlfriends-Metal Accent Flower
Techniques: Dry Embossing, Layering
These gorgeous dies coordinate so beautifully with one another. Give them a try!
