Impression Obsession Die Cut Obsession With March Release Dies

Hello friends,  Today we are using our Impression Obsession dies on our cards.  I am also using a couple of the new dies from the March Release.

I already know that I will be using these dies a lot.  That tag!  And the whiskey barrel is so fun!  Just think of all the fun ideas for filling it for different occasions and celebrations!

IO Stamps/Dies Links:

Stitched Die Tag DIE1058-ZZ

Whiskey Barrel Planter DIE1060-N

Flowers & Leaves DIE1049-X

Kitty With Heart D12335

Sending Cheer B20704

This is how I made my card:

•  On a white A2 card front I covered it with patterned papers and some silk ribbon.
• I stamped the Kitty With Heart stamp onto card stock, colored it with Polychromos colored pencils, then fussy-cut it and set it aside.
• On bristol card stock, I die cut the flower from the Flowers & Leaves die set.  I used distress inks with my brush applicators to 'paint' the flower and leaves, then set them aside.
• From kraft card stock, I cut the Whiskey Barrel Planter, and used brush ink applicators to add ink for shading.
  
• From kraft card stock, I cut the Stitched Die Tag.  I added the Barrel, flower, and kitty to the tag, ran some silk ribbon through the hole, and a button with a string bow, and attached it to the card front with foam tape.
• On kraft card stock, I stamped the Sending Cheer verse onto the panel cut from the Stitched Die Tag set.  I attached this to the card front, under the tag.
  

I had lots of fun creating this card with the cute little kitty and fabulous IO dies.  I hope you get a chance to play with some of your dies and/or stamps this week. 

 

Thanks for stopping by today.
