Hello there, it is Verity here from Pretty Little Button for the Bumbleberry Design team. Do you love to use die cuts on your cards, but want to stretch how you use them and get more from them?

Hey lovelies!"Just because" cards are probably my favourites to make, as I tend to send cards to my loved ones quite often out of the blue to let them know I'm thinking of them. The "Wish Upon A Star" stamp set from Mama Elephant is adorable and I had to get it, especially when I saw that bunny on the moon!  I stamped all of the images out in my Misti using Gina K's Amalgam Jet Black ink and coloured the three images I planned to use for my card using my alcohol markers. I added white highlights and details...

Coming up with different looks, from one or more images.  This I call a Replicating Image Technique. Using the Peek a Boo Pets from Avery Elle,  I wanted to create a family of one animal.     This became quite additive, as I carried on making more cards in this way.         Changing heights and colours made them look different.            Products     Peek A Boo Pets from Avery...
