Books & Gardens - die cutting


I love books and reading and gardens. A lovely place to read is in the quiet beauty of nature. My card features dies and stamps by Impression Obsession.


Putting It Together 

I woke up with this idea in my head and knew I had to put it together. 



I did a dry fit with the Impression Obsession die set and a frame from Queen and Company.


I die cut from black and did another dry fit on the white card base.


I cut several of the frame, cutting some from Recollections paper and one textured from Bazzill. I stacked the frames to give it dimension.


After stacking the frames, I adhered the tree to the back.


I trimmed away the overlap.


I backed the tree and frame with pearled white paper.


I added the boy and his book to finish the scene.


I added the scene to the card and stamped the sentiment.


Inside, I added a stack of books from one stamp set and a bookish sentiment from another. I stamped them on the bottom to allow the card to be used for any occasion.

    So striking in monochrome. I must remember this technique of framing die cuts, you can get so much more out of them. Thanks so much for playing along at Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge, Anita x
