Die Cut And Monochrome

I thought I'd share a couple of cards made a couple of weeks ago using the lovely

 New dies from Lavinia. 

The first one I cut in two colours, alternating them as I layered them up. I also shaped the blooms adding tiny seed beads as stamens.

 I made the background for my second card by gluing together 3 cuts of the Lavinia butterfly die and using it to emboss my card using the tan mat through the 

grand calibur

I'm using my cards for the following challenges:-

Little Claires 51, Shaped card,

We Dodoobadoo 18, Enhance your diecuts.

Thanks for stopping by,
