The letter for the latest alpha dictionary challenge from the Craft Barn is the letter 'A'. Now that's my favourite letter - it's not only my initial but also the initial of my birthday month! That lead me to thinking about birthdays and so the idea of illustrating 'age' popped into my head. Here we go:
Rifling through my dies
I used dies from seven different sets to create this tag! The alphabet die cuts were from Spellbinders' font one (upper and lower case). I then cut out some numbers from each of the three numeral sets that I have - Memory Box typewriter numbers; Spellbinders' Victorian numbers and Etched alphabet.
Finally, the sentiment, balloon, heart, star and tags were from Sentiment 3, 'Fun on a string' and Tag Trio - all from Spellbinders.
The Tag Trio is one of my 'go-to' dies at the moment - especially good for male cards. I've made a few clean and simple cards recently and I use them to support the sentiment.
I made the card here for my nephew Daniel for his recent 30th birthday. I used a die set from Sue Wilson, from her Perspectives Collection called Happy.
I need to get ahead on the next challenge as the closing date is while I'm away on holiday - can't wait!
Have a good bank holiday weekend.

Wow, I'm impressed with all those dies you must own. How impressive. And your chosen word is unique, too, because it's something I didn't even consider. Really lovely pieces you created, including your "ageless" tag!
ReplyDeleteHi there! Thank you for your lovely comments. Yes, I do have a 'few' dies, as my husband will confirm... They just creep into my craft room one by one and over time, you realise there's a box or three. Imperative to have a die for every occasion! hehe!
