Last Day for May Anything Goes at Die Cut Divas

Hey Diva friends - I'm sharing the card below at Die Cut Divas today with the rest of the end-of-month team. It's the last day of our May Anything Goes Challenge with sponsor CAS-ual Fridays and we hope you'll pop over!

Supplies: Stamp/Die - CAS-ual Fridays Big Thanks Duo

Paper - Neenah white; Spellbinders A2 card;

Tim Holtz kraft core cardstock; Doodlebug

Other - Park Lane gems; Distress Inks; Copic Markers

I started with the idea to do a stamped rainbow of thanks down the edge of a white card. A couple colors went wonky when my paper shifted - really need a sticky mat for my MISTI!! Luckily I was able to save them by placing the die carefully over the stamped words. The die cuts the word into 3 pieces and I was a bit off a couple times. Just colored any white using a matching Copic marker. Then I glued the 3 pieces of each word together & onto the card - not perfect but I really liked how this turned out. The dotted border came from a Doodlebug Halloween pad and I trimmed it with a strip of black. Each word got a matching gem - done!

And now for a bonus: 

This is take two using the thanks set and some wood plank paper. This paper was browner than the piece I used for my May 21st bonus card so I used a kraft A2 card behind it. I'd already stamped the thanks in dark red onto white and then die cut the piece using the outline die. I stacked more outlines behind for dimension. I added some more of the greenery from the Garden Fri-dies (retired) and a couple flowers (colored with Copics) from another stamp/die set - Flower Duo.

Remember - you have until 9pm Pacific time to add your Anything Goes card using a die cut or embossing folder to the May Diva Gallery. Hope to see you there and thanks for stopping!!
