This course is Easy Die Cutting Techniques. I very much enjoyed this set of classes and gave me new perspective on die cutting. I chose two new dies I had recently purchased and thought they would work well together.
The die sets are Itty Bitty Flowers and Bird of the Mountain from Altenew. I looked up pictures of Moussier and tried to match the colors as closely as possible, I ink blended a small amount of red onto the front of the bird . I cut the flowers out of white card stock and ink blended them using a number 10 detail blending brush from Altenew and their Mauve Fresh Dye Ink. I started light and then inked heavier for the different layers. I ink blended the background with Caribbean Sky Fresh Dye Ink from Altenew, a large bending brush and a cloud stencil.
I used 1mm dots behind the flowers to add dimension and then used 2mm dimensional foam tape behind the bird for it to stand a little higher off of the card.
The sentiment is from Altenew’s Elegant Sayings stamp and die set. I added a little Wink of Stella on the wings and on the flower centers. I finished it off with a few clear sequins.
I hope you enjoyed this card as much as I enjoyed making it. See you soon.
