The Village

I have two cards today showcasing one of my favorite die sets that was released by Simon Says Stamp, The Village.  The five dies in this set are so versatile, they can be used year round, not just for Christmas.

Starry Village

For the card backgrounds I inked up Hero Arts Tiny Star Background and Impression Obsessions Textural Dots with Versamark and applied PanPastels on top. Definitely non traditional colour schemes but I like how they turned out.

I added embossed sentiments from Simon Says Stamps Holiday Hellos and Happy Stamp Sets and added Distress Clear Rock Candy Glitter to the trees.

I'm entering these cards for the Simon Says Flickr Group Challenge, Die Cutting.

Thanks for visiting with me today and I love it when you leave me comments.

    WOW! I love these cards, Sue! The colors are so pretty and that die is really a great one. Alas, so many dies; so little moolah! (insert big sigh here) :-)
