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.

    Like the positive/negative use of die cuts for this card, Lynda. The color combo highlights both so well. tfs
