Impression Obsession - All About the Dies - Day 2
Welcome to Day 2 of our Impression Obsession die showcase! See the I.O. blog for all the details! You can visit the I.O. Blog each day of the hop for links to the previews. Make sure to comment for a chance to WIN!
I used the Love Border Word die as the focal point on my card, but this is actually the negative cut. I pieced in the floating pieces to fill out the word a little better, scored around the edges of the upper panel, and added some trim from my stash along the angle of the straight cut.
I used this week's Splitcoast tutorial for Whitewashing on the background - it's white embossed, then painted with white craft ink and highlighted very lightly with dye reinkers. The background stamp I used is Cover-a-Card Roses.
