Mystery at the Dog Park Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Create a Scene with Die Cuts!

Have you ever created a scene using die cuts? Today we are sharing a card by Ellen has created using several of our favorite die sets to inspire you!

Ellen started by die cutting the stitched rectangle using our Basic Frames Die Set. This will be the panel for her scene. She inks up the panel in blue distress inks and adds a bit of splatter to make it into a night sky. Next, she cuts a piece for the ground using our Land Borders Die Set, inking it up with shades of brown and adding lots of splatter for texture. 

Once she has her setting in place, she adds a stack of books to the center of the scene using the book images that come with our Bookmark II Die Set. She uses our Forest Scene Builder Die Set to add the trees, leaves and the little bird that is perched on the books. The stars in the sky were die cut using our Sky Scene Builder Die Set. Then she adds a dog using our Dog Silhouettes Die Set and a speech bubble using our Dog Silhouettes Die Set. Inside the speech bubble she embossed a message from our Puppy's Reading List Stamp Set. This sentiment works perfectly with the theme of the card! So fun! To finish the scene she frames it with a yellow zig zag edged frame, die cut using our Frames & Tags Die Set. 

We hope you are inspired by this gorgeous scene that Ellen created using mostly die cuts! Wouldn't it be fun to turn this into a daytime scene by adding a sunny sky? There are so many options! We hope you are inspired to try creating a scene using dies in your craft room!
