I recently replaced my old Big Shot with a Spellbinders Platinum 6. I’m happy with the change and this die was included with the purchase. I decided to use it and see what I could come up with using the colours from the challenge. The red paper, almost foil paper, is a chocolate box wrap that has a faint snowflake pattern on it. It was too nice to throw away so I cut it into 4 by 5″ pieces and used some of it to cut the floral piece. I cut it several times and glued them together as the paper is thin and I wanted it to be a bit more robust. The word Hi is cut from a scrap piece of the same card stock and then glued to the floral layer. I added the red layer to a white strip so it would stand out from the purple more. I’m happy with how it turned out and will likely use the card as a get well or thinking of you for someone needing a lift in spirits.

As you know, I like to reuse things if I can. This paper was too nice to discard.
