Little Tangles Challenge - Die-Cutting!

hello!

today i'm SUPER excited to be sharing a card for the new Little Tangles Challenge for the month of July - Die cutting!

i'm a guest over there today, and i am SO honored and excited to be able to play with the Little Tangles team this month! they are SO talented and nice, and i am humbled to be among them this month!

ok - so the card!
i used the super adorable Hoop Die for my card!

i cut out the border of the hoop 5 times and stacked all of the layers together to create some dimension within the hoop! then i added some silver paper for the hook (?!)! and that paper within the hoop is super old, from Sassafrass, but i still have it and it looked JUST like some cross stitch material to me! 

i lightly stamped the cupcake image from Sketchy Cupcakes with Old Paper Distress ink. i used that as a guide to add my stitching outline!

then i used some Spun Sugar distress ink and added a watercolor look to the background of the card. a few pink sequins from Lucy's Little Things Sequin Pack in English Rose and the sentiment from For the Record stamped in a beige, and the card was complete! :)

i hope you'll find the time to play along too! i can't wait to see what you make! :)
enjoy!
