Destination China Inspiration | Colorful Cards with Elena

Hello friends! Elena Salo is here again! Today I'm sharing a second post where I show how you can use new collection of dies from Lene Lok - Destination China. Here you can find the first project. Many of my favorite dies are from Lene Lok's collections, because I like all geometrical shapes she creates in her dies. And this collection is also full of such dies. Today I'd like to show you two more cards I created with these release.

I created two card bases out of red cardstock. Then I die cut labels out of red, black and white cardstock using Chinese Knot Frame and Chinese Coin Window sets of dies from Destination China release.

I really liked to play with these dies and adhere all that tiny squares onto the card.

To finish my cards I added die cut sentiments from the previous releases.
