Hello friends I am sneaking in for a quick share of card I created using Spellbinders Dies in a couple of different ways...
The first technique is obviously Die Cutting - cut/emboss using a retired die that I just could not bear to part with for the card base and next layer.
The gorgeous little bird and blossom tree are from the Spellbinders Plum Blossom Dies - the flowers and bird are cut separately, that makes it so easy to personalise the colours.
Second technique using a die is stencil: I have using the Cascade Dots Card Creator Die to create a stencil - I use recycled cardboard (a cereal box actually) and apply Imagine Crafts Creative Medium to some areas of the layered base. After the Creative Medium has dried I have sponged some of the raised dots using Radiant Neon in Electric Yellow - just how many is personal choice.
The third way to use a Spellbinders die is using the negative Die: I have used the negative die from a sentiment, adding white faux stitching for extra detail. I have also added a hand drawn border - just for something different.
