Where flowers bloom for Visible Image

  Good morning it's time for my fortnightly blogged design team make for Visible Image. Visible Image added a new product to their line earlier this year, their layering dies. These are so incredibly versatile. The only limit to their use is your imagination. Today I would like to share another way to use the fabulous  Framed fibres die.

 I shared a canvas earlier this year, by cutting up the die cut, with this make here; using it with the creative chaos flower set and the mesh die.

Today I wanted to share a way of using it again for flower stems, but in a different way and using it within its frame. 

I used the gorgeous Where flowers bloom set for this project.

This is what I got up to;

I used both flower stamps and the numbers stamp to create a background; I simply repeat stamped using Versafine Clair green oasis ink over a piece of yellow mop up inky card from my stash,

I positioned the  Framed fibres die 

and ran it through my Sizzix Switch die cutting machine. (I absolutely love this machine. I had a manual Big Shot for years but this bigger (A4 size) and electronic model is the bees knees! )

I also had a piece of silver sparkle alcohol ink card inked with alcohol inks in my stash which I also cut out using the die.

I removed the 1st die cut from the frame.

and using the same numbers stamp, repeat stamped all over using Summertime Versafine Claire ink.

To attach the sparkly inside die cut I decided to use acetate as I really wanted the "stems" to stand out as a feature.

I cut a piece of acetate slightly bigger than the aperture

and adhered the sparkly fibres frame in place using Glossy accents.

Next it was time to make my flowers. These were stamped onto a piece of shaving foam marbled card coloured with distress re inkers. 

I cut them out, coloured the centres with gold glitter pen and added Glossy accents.

I also stamped out the words Love, Laugh and Bloom using Summertime ink and cut them out. Once the flowers were dry I put my design together. 

Here it is finished

with a couple of close ups

and one final shot;

I also took it out into the garden and took a photo.....

You can see where my inspiration often comes from!
