I love using distress oxide 'play pieces' for die-cutting. I created a panel with the do's and die cut Impression-Obsession's hollyhock die from it. Also IO's die along the left edge of the panel. The leaves are stamped from IO's stamp Silhouette 18, and fussy-cut. Some Enamel Accents in the flower centers, and Nuvo drops for accents.
I cased this cardby Carol (Creating In Colors), this week's featured stamper. I changed the colors and the flowers and dies.

I am fascinated by the effect you achieved using Distress Oxide inks for your die cuts. Thanks for the artistic nudge; I will have to try this! Beautiful card!

Wonderful. Love the lattice die-cut piece. The hollyhocks look so pretty on it. Fabulous color with the technique. Works great for the Color Challenge. Terrific case of Carol's card. Well done! TFS
