Impression Obsession June 2021 Die Cut Obsession

We have set aside today to share some fun themed projects

at Impression Obsession.

This month's theme is Birthday.

Have fun checking out what our Designers have made today.

Today's participants can be found on the Impression Obsession blog.

IO Stamps/Die links:

Birthday Words Die Set DIE1076

Small Candle DIE1084

Pinked Stitched Sentiment Banner DIE814-U

How I made my card:

From white card stock, I die cut the Birthday Words and Small Candle, and Pinked Stitched Sentiment Banner from the die cuts.
On a white A2 card front, I used a stencil to create the rectangle in the center, brushing distress ink through the stencil.
I used distress ink to brush color onto the candle flames and the Birthday Words.
I added the die cuts to the card front.

I just love these candles, and the birthday words dies!

Dog Collar With Heart D21396

Dog's Birthday Hat C21398

You Had Me At Woof (inside)

How I made my card:

On bristol card I stamped the Dog Collar With Heart with VersaFine Clair Nocturne ink.
I painted the Dog Collar With Heart image and Birthday Hat using Derwent Inktense Pencils.
I used a circle die to cut the image, then added it to a dry-embossed blue panel, along with some ribbon.
I added the panel to the front of an A2 card front, and added some heart shaped buttons and ribbon from my stash.
INSIDE: I added a blue panel, then a white circle die cut with the verse You Had Me At Woof.
