Impression Obsession Fall/Winter Dies - Day 2

Welcome to the Impression Obsession Team Fall/Winter Die hop! We have some beautiful new dies to share with you, and prizes too. Keep reading to find out how you could win a $25 gift certificate and get a few dies of your own!

Today we're showcasing fall dies, and I decided to use this one in a little different way - the way it's laid out makes it really versatile. Here's my card:




I started by watercoloring a large block on Canva-Paper, then cutting it with this background die:



Fall Leaf Background
I created a frame with 2 square dies and cut the bottom of the die cut out with the larger square. I cut the sentiment out of white cardstock, carefully cut the corners, and off set it on the frame. The leaf is from a garland I bought at the Dollar Tree for another project - I've gotten quite a bit of mileage out of it!

  5. What a gorgeous die! I really like how you used it, by making it square. It shows more versatility than if you used it with the label as is. I like it a lot better this way.
