Lovin' my Big Shot

The Big Shot is the greatest thing to come down the pike in card making!
 Just lay down a piece of card stock, top it with the die, wind it through, and voila, you have cut outs!

There is such a variety of cutting dies available these days that it can become addicting. Sometimes I purchase from Amazon but Tuesday Morning is my favorite place to shop for dies. It's hit or miss and there may be only one of a kind but it's worth it. They sell them for about a third of the original price.

Recently, I cut some flowers out of watercolor paper for some cards I was creating. With watercolor, you can mix any amount of colors, a few or a lot.

 

Because the flower dies in the package come in different sizes, you can layer the petals to create a three-dimensional flower.

This is my finished card!

which lead to more cards...

The possibilities are endless!
