When I saw the beautiful color selection for this week's challenge, I immediately thought of a gorgeous card I had just seen in the honors gallery: Colorblocked Train by Miss Minx at Splitcoaststampers
This is by Miss Minx. I remembered I had this puzzle stamp. I have had it from my scrapbooking days. But I don't know if I ever used it. Anyway, I stamped the white cardstock first. Then I stamped SIX sheets of the MME DPs. Next I started cutting and cutting and cutting! It takes a while to cut out all those pieces! LOL Then I put my puzzle together.
The back panel is by Bazzil and I used some Blue Iris Chalk around the DP panel. I used a SB die to cut out the puzzle and dimensionals to raise that up. Lastly I added a bow, and for me, I think I tied it fairly well, YAY! I have the stamp "Together Forever" that I was going to use on the front, but I will use it on the inside instead. Thanks for stopping by to take a peek!
