OCC Stretch Your Dies-Day 5-Coordinating Dies

Today's lesson was stamp sets with coordinating dies.  I don't have many sets of these, but in the future I think I will purchase them (if my budget permits!), so much easier than fussy cutting and saves a lot of time.   Recently Wplus9 came out with this darling little elephant stamp set- Unforgettable.  This was out of stock for while and when it came back in stock, the die cut was out of stock!  So it took a few weeks to get both die and stamp set, so of course I wanted to use them right away, and this is the card I made.  

Again I did a combo of techniques from today's lesson.  I die cut the image on the front of the card stock, and stamped through the die cut.  I recently got the MISTI, which I have wanted for awhile and finally convinced myself I really needed it!  The MISTI makes this process soooooo much easier. You can position the image and precisely stamp every.single.time.  I colored the image with copics and added some more images inside the card.  I added dots to the balloon with a gel pen.  Did I say I loved this stamp set?  So many potential uses for it. 

Thanks for coming by.....
