Using Die Cuts

Hi!
Chrissie here and I wanted to share a fun way to use die cuts on your projects.  I the Cole's ABC's Lawn Cuts with Milo's ABCs stamps (all links are listed below).

First, I stamped everything (Critters at the Dog Park) and laid out the dies.  I adhered them with Washi Tape so they didn't move while I was die cutting them.

After running them through my Cuttlebug, I estimated where the die cuts would be and stamped the Paw Prints in different colors.

Then, I colored everything in and added two different spray mists to give some definition to the card.  I also inked up the edges and around the "DOG" to make it pop out.  I also die cut the little banner from Blue Skies to add in the corner.

Here is the finished piece:

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to play along in our current challenge, Minis!
