It's Sketch Challenge Time Again

 Hey Everybody,

Today we have a sketch challenge. It can be found here.  

Here is what the sketch looks like. You don't have to use these shapes, but you need three shapes. You can turn this any way you'd like as well.

Here's my card.  

I stamped the birds, from the Unity set called, Flock Talk then colored and die cut them. Then I used two dies at a time from my Nested Essentials Dies to cut the shaded spruce openings for each bird. 

I put the frames through the paradise garden embossing folder for some texture so it would mimic the background paper. 

I stamped the sentiment and used the double oval punch to cut it out.

 After the card was assembled, I added rhinestone hearts and clear wink of stella.

Stamps: Unity Stamps-Flock Talk

Paper: white, shaded spruce, Stampin' Up!-Perennial Lavender designer series paper

Ink: memento tuxedo black, shaded spruce

Accessories: Stampin' Up!-Nested Essential Dies, Stampin' Up!-Paradise Garden Hybrid embossing folder, Copic Markers, rhinestone hearts, Stampin' Up!-double oval punch, clear wink of stella

Techniques: coloring, die cutting, dry embossing

Here is a video by Lisa Curcio showing how to make these frames. You can use any shape you'd like if it has multiple sizes of the same shape. 

Take a look.

So that's what I did with my rectangle dies. Then I ran them through the embossing folder to give them texture.

Take a look at your dies and embossing folders. After stamping your image, see what shape looks best with it and cut a frame. Then decide if embossing the frame will add to your card.

I think embossing adds more interest to   my cards.

Well, that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by.

I hope you give this die cut frame a try.

Blessings,

Sue
