Good Wednesday morning. Welcome to day two of the Impression Obsession three day “All About Dies” design team blog hop. Be sure and check out the IO blog to get the scoop on prizes.
For my project today I used the Easter Basket Set (sentiment), Gingham Cover a Card, Mega Mount, Sign Post, Leafy Branch 2 , Spiral Flowers, Grass Border and Butterfly Set
I cut the sign post using kraft paper and sponged on vintage photo ink for shading. I assembled the sign pieces and sentiment and attached with glossy accents. I cut off small pieces of the leafy branch 2 and created a vine growing up the post and cross the top of the sign. I rolled several tiny spiral flowers and attached around the foliage using glossy accents.
I stamped the gingham cover a card background for the frame using lavender ink. I created a double matted frame with the gingham layer using the nesting squares and attached two sections of the grass border to the back using my ATG adhesive. I attached mounting tape to the back of the frame and mounted the frame to the card base. I tucked the sign post in behind the grass and attached with mounting tape to add dimension. I added a few butterflies around the scene and finished by adding a few tiny flowers in the grass.
Hop on over to the Impression Obsession blog to find all the prize details. I hope you will check out all the wonderful inspiration our team has to share with you. I can hardly wait to check them out myself. Thanks for stopping by and I hope you will come back tomorrow. I have a lovely spring Easter card to share with you.

Another wonderful creation by you and a terrific showing of how to use purples…my difficult color, but I do love it. The dies are fantastic. I have a few in my collection as well as a wish list and love how they cut.
Love love love Kittie! The gingham woke me up just now as I drink my morning coffee. Wow! I have all those dies or something close to it. I’m not waiting any longer…going to get the grass…my 4th one but I see many usages for it. What a fun fun card. Another great day to do some hopping…haha
I saw the sign post die as part of the new release and was hoping that someone would use it on the hop. I love how your card turned out and the sign is even better than I imagined! That is going to the top of my wish list! Beautiful!
