Mid-Week Throwdown

It's Wednesday and that means it is Operation Write Home's Mid-Week Throwdown! Yay! I have had so much fun playing along since the start of summer! 
This mid-week's challenge is to use dies and punches. 
It just so happens that I purchased this QuicKutz Heart Doily cutting die from Lifestyle Crafts yesterday! 
Here is my creation:
It is a great looking punch but after I ran it through my Cuttlebug none of the little "chads" punched out! I had to sit and individually poke each one! What a mess! Ha!
I colored up this darling image from Saturated Canary called Owl I'll Always Love You. 
 The sentiment reads:baby, owl always love you...
I colored up this Saturated Canary image with Copic markers:
Skin-E000,00,11
Hair-E53,55,57
Outfit-RV93,95,E31,33,C1,3,5,R35
The paper is from Recollections and I embossed the background paper, too. 
And...if I wasn't making this card to donate to OWH...I would be glittering it all up! 
There it is, my OWH Mid-Week Throwdown! 
Have a great Wednesday, my friends!

    Your coloring is beautiful! Lots of effort here, I can see many little holes:) The little girl is really the show stopper! You have some amazing skills going on over there.

    Great die - it's so delicate. Great job coloring your image too.I remember a tip about using wax paper with a die to help get those tiny pieces to come out. I haven't tried it myself though, so I'm not sure it works.

    You know Erika...now that you mention it...it came with a piece of wax paper!! I thought it was just the way it was packaged! Oops!

    Let's just say the time spent punching out the tiny pieces was time well spent -- the detail is great!

    Such a cute card, your coloring is exquisite ! Definitely use wax paper between the die and dp, I use all the time for those pesky lace chads. Works like a charm! TFS!

    Very pretty card. Tough deal with the hanging chads! Good recovery though. Have a great day.
