Punches and Dies At The Ready

Hi Folks (for the second time today)
I am watching the tennis final in the olympics at the moment.  Murray is doing so well and I am sure he will get the gold for us.

Anyway, today sees the start of a new challenge over at Dream Valley Challenges.
We have two fab sponsors for you this month:
One Stop Card Crafts who are offering a £10 voucher to their on line store and
Inked Treasures who are offering 4 free images.

Our challenge theme for this one is:

Punches and Die Cuts

All you have to do is make a crafty creation using your die cuts and punches from your crafty collections.  I am sure most of us have one or two lying around lol.

For my project today I used some decoupage and papers from Docrafts by Lucy Cromwell.  These are such sweet images.

I used one of my spellbinder dies to create the frame for the decoupage image to sit on.  The glittery butterflies were done using one of my Marianne dies.  I punched the corners of the backing paper with a corner punch so you can see the coredinations card underneath.  Finished it off with a doily, some ribbon, a bow, resin flowers and pearls and gems.

If you are still stuck for inspiration pop over to Dream Valley and check out the awesome work of the design team.  Such talent and creativity.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges;
The Paper Shelter - Glitz and glimmer
Divas By Design - Flowers
Charisma Cardz - Pink + 1
Crafty Catz - Pink
Simply Create Too - Anything goes
Catch the Bug - Anything goes

Thanks for popping by and looking forward to seeing all your fab punches and die cuts.
Take care.
