April Releases!

Hello Everyone!  Today the Divinity Divas are looking back at the Divinity Designs April Release.  There is such variety this month and I'm using the new stamp set Grandmother's Heart for my first project and  Long and Lean Letters for my second!

I've used a white card base by folding a piece of card in half and cut it with Scalloped Rectangles leaving the top fold uncut.  Next I've used the same die to cut a piece of pink paper from the Pretty Pink Peonies Collection and glued it neatly over the top.  I've layered with a piece of green card, white card cut with a smaller die from Scalloped Rectangles and topped with a patterned piece of Pretty Pink Peonies paper cut with Double Stitched Rectangles.  Around this I've attached two pieces of light green ribbon.  I've stamped the image and sentiment from Grandmother's Heart in black onto X-press It Blending Card and coloured the flower with Copics.  I've cut each out using two sizes of dies from Double Stitched Circles, popping the sentiment up on foam tape.  To finish I've added some pink rhinestones to the top corner.

My second card is for my brother who celebrates his birthday in April!  I love alphabet dies, they are perfect for customising your projects which makes making masculine cards super easy!  :)

I've used a base of green, a layer of cream cut with Pierced Rectangles which is layered with blue and green card.  On top of this is a panel of Vintage Ephemera paper cut with Rectangles Dies.  Next I've cut the balloon using Balloons and Streamers Dies out of cream and blue card and glued in place.  I've then cut the happy birthday using Happy Birthday Script and the 'CRAIG' using Long and Lean Letters all out of green card and glued as shown.
