Nestabilities - Labels 2

Do you find sometimes that no matter how many dies you have none seem the right size or shape?  This happens to me quite often and it is real frustrating!

On my desk on last week's WOYWW I had a label 2 die cut on which I had watercoloured with Inktense pencils an image from the EI Townhouse Stamp themeplate.  Having done to a reasonable, but not entirely satisfactory colouring job, I looked the shape and thought...."now What"!  I could not come up with a design that looked right with the shape....so....knife in hand......holding breath.....I cut across the top and bottom of the die cut and ......

and I had a new shape

this new shape allowed me to stamp a scene onto a strip of card, matching up the tree and bush behind the house so that my new shape could be lifted on foam pads to give some dimension to the scene.  I like my new shape and think it could be very useful to ring the changes with the Label 2 dies - Wonder if any of the other labels can be changed?.....yet another challenge! 

Hope you like this idea, and if you use it - perhaps you would let me know so I can pop over.

                                                    

It's a boy!

 Hello Jenson......

 Welcome to the world!

The image for the card was a digital from the very talented Chris Dark at  Sketching Stamper Digi Stamps that I coloured with Promarkers and then triple embossed. (yet, again!)

Thanks for your comment.  You asked about the card I used for my Mice birthday card - it was a texture called "leather" (I think) - but sorry I can't tell you where I got it from.  You should be able to find it in most craft shops.  Couldn't reply direct you left no contact address.
