This month’s Karen Burniston Design Team Challenge is Castles featuring Karen’s new Castle Pop Up die. Â I made some boxes and tags with the Castle die, Princess and Mermaid die, Knight and Dragon die and the Word set die 5 – Royalty. Â This tag uses the Castle die in Smoky Slate, Pink Pirouette and Melon Mambo. Â The sky was done with Distress Oxide inks and the grass is Pear Pizzaz. Â The little princess wears a Pool Party dress embellished with some Dazzling Diamonds. (Sounds like we’re at the Oscars!) Â The tag itself is from the Karen Burniston Tag Book. I just used the Castle die flat – no score lines – across the tag.
Every Princess needs a box for their gift! Â Here I used the Castle die flat across a box. Â I finished it off with some birds from the Karen Burniston Outdoor Scene die. Â It took me 3 1/2 castle strips to do this box. Â (A retired SU box – any box would work.) Â I tied it off with some pink ribbon from my stash.
Now for your little Knight –
This was done the same way as the Princess tag using Bermuda Bay, Pool Party and Smoky Slate. Â I added some Glossy Accents to his shield.
For his box I added the cute, cute dragon in Daffodil Delight!
So there’s the Castle die used flat! Â Check out all the other designers and see what they’ve done with the Castle! Â Hugs, Fran
