Kittie Caracciolo (that’s me)
My project was made using the Heron and Lake and All-in-One Frames Rectangles 2. The Heron and Lake is a framed scene die that contains all the components you see on my card. The only additional die is the outer frame. I really love how fast and easy this came together.
Once I had all the elements of the scene colored I attached the scene to the back of the frame with strips of mounting tape. Next I applied ATG adhesive to the back of the frame and ground sections of the scene and attached it to the blue card base. I secured the branches in place with a few rolled glue dots. I secured the bird in place with a piece of mounting tape.
WOW the visual texture and depth you created with this card is amazing. Gorgeous design!
THIS is absolutely WOW.
Really cute card! Love the design.
Once again, you are the master of the die cuts. Love this card!
This is LOVELY, Kittie! 😉 SO SERENE!!! 😉
Such a peaceful, restful card.
Beautiful scene.
thanks for sharing.
Wow, this card is just gorgeous. Love the tranquillity of the scene:)
I love your cards, Kittie! You always use a frame which showcase them as the art they are — whether they are flowers or a scene. This is so realistic it could be a photograph! I love that you have the branch coming out over the frame.
Kittie, as usual a gorgeous card. You have such a flair for making cards. I love them all.
You brought this flat die to life! So pretty!!!
Beautiful scene you have created with these awesome dies!
Oh my goodness Kittie your card is S-T-U-N-N-I-N-G!!!!!!! Your water even sparkles!!!
(I have never used hot pressed water colour paper before but want to try it.) An amazing work of art!
Wow, this looks like it should be hanging on the wall instead of a card. It’s stunning!
Beautiful and amazing! You create cards with wonderful dimension!
Fabulous scene you created. Thanks for the inspiration.
Fabulous card! I like the addition of the texture to the grass areas and the way you have colored the heron. Don’t tell and no one will no it came together fast.
Wow, that Heron and Lake die is gorgeous!! Your coloring and stamping makes it come to life!!
Good afternoon Kittie. I once saw a herring beside a lake just like this one. He was gorgeous to see an your creation gorgeous an reminded me of the magical moment. …..
Many thanks .,…..hugs
Another gorgeous scene – thanks so much for sharing!
How neat that it is all one die. Easy.
Fabulous scene for this heron.

Lovely card!
Outstanding job on this scene!!
This one is my favorite! I love how you made this scene work together, it looks layered rather than flat. Great job. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! Love all your details in using this die, from the coloring to the popping up of certain elements to add dimension to using the All-in-one frame to really frame the image you created! Beautiful!
