Die-Cut Obsession - Shamrocks

 

Die-cuts take center stage at the Impression-Obsession blog today.  I have a shamrock card to share with you.

I used the IO DIE065-AA Shamrock for my card.  I die cut it from some Strathmore bristol vellum paper, and added some green distress inks along the edges.  I used the negative part where I had cut the dies from as a stencil, and brushed some color through onto a panel of the bristol.  I added some distressing along the edges, then dyed a piece of card stock a little larger and layered this panel onto that, then onto an A2 card with foam tape for dimension. 

I added the die-cut shamrocks, placing some on the panel, and a couple onto the card front.

I die-cut the DIE174-W Greetings Set a few times and stacked them for the word elements, brushed some color on in ombre fashion, then attached them around the panel.

For the inside of the card, I masked the center, then brushed some of the ink to form a rectangle, then used the remaining pieces of the shamrock die cut as a stencil, and brushed some shamrocks in.

I had lots of fun creating this card.  I got my inspiration from one of Birgit Edblom's cards that I had seen on Pinterest, but I changed mine up quite a bit from hers. 

Have fun checking out what the other designers have made today.  You can find them on the Impression-Obsession blog.


And for the inside:

I am adding my card to these challenges:

I hope you were inspired by my card.  Thanks so much for stopping by.  I appreciate your visits and kind comments.

Blessings,
