IO Blog Hop- Dies Day 2

 

Welcome to day 2 of the IO die blog hop. Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by yesterday and left such nice comments.

For today's card, I wanted to use the new Paper Cone die. I used it with daisy stamps/dies, but really, you could put anything in the pocket. The nice thing about the die is that it adds a scallop edge and scores the paper so that it easily folds into a cone.

Stamps:

Daisies from the Impression Obsession Spring Medley clear set CL465

Impression Obsession Heartfelt Thanks B3928

Dies:

Impression Obsession Paper Cone  DIE040-R

Impression Obsession Daisies DIE072-F

Inks:

Black Versafine

Instructions:

• Cut out daisies using white cardstock and dies (2 of each kind of daisy)
• Stamp daisies onto cut out daisies using black Versafine ink
• Color daisies with markers and a blender pen.  To do this, scribble a little of the marker color onto an acrylic block and pick up the color with a blender pen.
• Highlight parts of the flower with some yellow Twinkling H20 paint and a waterbrush.  Hint…don’t add too much water or you will warp your paper
• Cut out flower pocket with white cardstock
• Put colored flowers into the pocket
• Layer the pieces of the card and add some twine
• Stamp saying onto the card.
