Hi there,

we are starting a new Challenge over on the Elizabeth Craft Designs Blog and this month it is all about the Frame it dies. I used the Frame it - Stitched Rectangles to create more dimension on my card project:

• stamp two scenes from the adorable Elizabeth Craft Designs Christmas Kids set with Versafine Onyx Black and cut them out with the coordinating dies
• color the images with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils
• cut out several frames using the Elizabeth Craft Designs Frame it - Stitched Rectangles and the Elizabeth Craft Designs Stitched Rectangles
• adhere the frames on top of each other using double-sided foam adhesive
• create a shaker element behind the last frame and fill it with sequins 
• close the shaker element with patterned paper from the ModaScrap Christmas Holidays 6x6 paper pad
• stamp the sentiment from the Elizabeth Craft Designs Classic Christmas Sentiments with Versafine Olympia Green onto a sentiment strip cut into a banner shape
• adhere the frames onto a cardbase and the images onto the frames
• embellish the tree with Nuvo Crystal Drops (Red Berry, Apple Green, Dandelion Yellow)

Our challenge question is: Which of the Garden Notes - Frame It/Stitched Die Sets would you use on a project and how would you use it?

Hugs,
