Die-Cut Obsession at Impression-Obsession - Spring In Bloom

Welcome to the Impression-Obsession Die Cut Obsession Day!  My card today features one of the new dies from the Spring Die Release.

Dies:  Stitched Flower Bouquet DIE806-ZZ
         All-In-One Frames Rectangle 2 DIE291-WW
Stamps:  Spring In Bloom C19941
              Spring Definition D14769

I created an inked background onto a piece of Arteza watercolor paper by adding die cut flowers from the Stitched Flower Bouquet randomly onto the watercolor paper. 

I then brushed distress inks over the entire piece, blending my color areas for complete coverage.  I love the way the die cut flowers really popped.  Then I used the negative part of the Stitched Flower Bouquet die (the part left after cutting the flowers) as a 'stencil.'  I brushed color through the openings intermittently over the brushed background, which resulted in images of the dies appearing randomly.

I attached this panel to an A2 card front.  I framed the verse Spring In Bloom with one of the pieces of the All-In-One Frames Rectangle 2.  I love this frame die set, as it has so many interesting layers to the frames.  I find myself using it often.  I then added the sentiment and frame on with foam tape for dimension.

Inside:  I added the Spring Definition inside, and a tiny grouping of more of the die cuts. 

Don't forget to check out what the other designers made today.  Links to their blogs are on the IO blog HERE.
