I heat embossed using the Petals 3 ARTPlorations Stencil and sprinkle with some Color Burst powder on it. After that I cut it with circle dies. I cut another dark blue cardstock with stitched circle die. I stacked them together with permanent adhesive glue. I added it on a white card.

Anything Goes With Dies | Just Because

Hello everyone… I hope you all are doing well and safe… I am popping by today to share this card…

My card today is inspired by those birds that start singing outside my window. On my card, I used the CUTplorations die sets and ARTplorations – Helen G. Designs stencil from STAMPlorations.

Over the stencil, I blended some of the Catherine Pooler Premium Dye Inks and then I sprayed it with water to get that rainbow distressed watercolor look. Very simple!

I hope this inspire you to create with your die sets and share your project at Happy Little Stampers April Anything Goes With Dies Challenge.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you all have wonderful day.
