Next month's homework

Once again I have used Sizzix dies in one of the cards I made for next month's card group's monthly challenge.  Each month one member gives each of us a bag of paper and embellishments.  We then use the items in the bag and our own stamps and dies and color media to create several cards/tags, using only a minimal amount of our own paper. (I'm not crazy about pink, especially hot pink!).

I have 32 Sizzix dies/sets designed by Karen Burniston and I haven't yet used them all.  My goal is to use one each month in challenges until I've used them all, (but I have more dies coming in June so this goal will be extended).  This month I used the Floating Frames die designed by Karen Burniston, along with her flourish from the Hello set and the frame from the Scallop Frame and Heart set.  Also from Sizzix, I used the Tim Holtz doily and scallop die.  I colored the images with Copic markers.

Homework

For this month's Greeting Card Group homework assignment, I thought I'd try a card using a pop n cuts die combined with a cut and fold technique I ran across online.  I couldn't make it work, and meanwhile I used up so much of the paper I was supposed to use, that all I had left was enough paper for the card base.  All of the rest of the paper was from my own stash, which isn't the purpose of our homework challenge, but oh we'll - it's more fun trying something new than strictly following the rules for homework.  I'm the rubber stamper rebel.

Below is the card.  I have used a Sizzix Pop N Cuts die designed  by Karen Burniston.
