Good Thursday morning. Welcome to day 2 of the Impression Obsession design team “It’s all about dies” blog hop. You will definitely want to check out the details on the Impression Obsession blog to find out how you can possibly win three new dies of your choice.
My project today was made using Pine Branch, Birds and Border Duo 2 dies and the bird images from No Place Like Home.
This is a clean, simple and really fast and easy card to create. I lightly sponged Vintage Photo Distress Ink on the branches to ad a more natural appearance. I sponged the birds lightly with Pumice Stone.
I die cut the borders and then die cut the frame opening. I mounted the frame over the card base with mounting tape.
I attached the pine and bird with glossy accents and finished with a gingham multi loop bow. If you would like to know how I make my bows you can check out my ribbon tying video tutorial here.
I hope you are enjoying all the wonderful creations made by our team. We have all been having so much fun with the new dies. Be sure and check on the Impression Obsession Blog for information on how you may win three new dies today.
