Join us! It is DIE week at Just Us Girls. Ina is challenging us to use LAYERING dies this week in our card creations.
I used an older Honey Bee layering die set to create this dogwood stem. The bits are small and I took a few shortcuts in the stem's creation. The stem is die cut from scrap kraft cardstock. Rather than die cut the leaves, they are copic colored. The flowers are die cut from white cardstock and the edges dusted with a pale pink dye ink, and the flower centers colored yellow green. The stem was mounted on an embossed A2, DSP panel with a bold, layered sentiment, and a few gems.
I made three additional cards for donation to Friends After Diagnosis, an organization supporting cancer patients. In addition to their many patient programs, therapy and service, staff members often send messages of support to local patients.

Love those pretty lightly colored dogwood flowers. They look wonderful against that background.
Your dogwood branch is so lovely and delicate, Elizabeth! This is a wonderful card!
A beautiful die cut dogwood branch with it's lovely blossoms, laid over that lovely die cut DP background!
Those flowers are so soft and subtle Elizabeth. Great background and fabulous bold sentiment.
That pretty stem was worth the effort Elizabeth and I love the delicate blossom paired with that bold embossed background. Fabulous!
What a great idea to color the leaves, Elizabeth. I always did find them fiddly. Your dogwood really shines with that bold background.
Your dogwood stem is beautiful! That background is a great choice to show those blossoms off. Great sentiment, too.
