BIRDBATH AND MORE

Hello dear friends !!!!

Happy Saturday to you !!! Are you all geared up to enjoy the weekend !!! I hope you have some plans for crafting also. I have set aside a few hours for making cards !!! I would like you all to have a look at all the CottageCutz dies , especially the new releases. They are simply fabulous.

Today, I am sharing a very simple yet elegant card with you. I have always been fascinated with bird baths and so when I saw this die , I was so happy.

So here is my card.

 I combined two die cuts CottageCutz die Victorian bird bath and Bird Bath together. This gave me more birds on my birdbath. I have distressed the die cut a little with Distress ink Worn Lipstick.

This is another close which shows how I have used the CottageCutz Blossom Branch. I have cut the leaves from the branch and distressed them with Peeled Paint distress ink and arranged with the flowers.

. 

The backdrop is the Swirl embossing folder on white card stock cut to the size 4 inches by 5 inches.
Then I used CottageCutz  Wide Rectangle Stitched Frame and on top of that I attached the CottageCutz Stitched Oval frame set as shown in the picture.

For the filigree background, cut four CottageCutz Fancy Floral #2 die in white card stock, and arrange at the four corners of the frame.
Place the whole thing on a pattern paper measuring 5 inches by 7 inches. Adhere on green card stock folded to form the complete card that measures 7.5 inches by 5.5 inches. Add a die cut from stash for sentiment. Add a bow on the left side.

The finished card.

Victorian Bird Bath

It's Carol here at Cottage Cutz at The Scrapping Cottage!  Today I have created a card with the Victorian Bird Bath die.  I love playing with these dies.  It's so relaxing to cut and piece the dies into beautiful images.  I painted my image and flowers with Tattered Angels Glitter Glam in Twinkle Toes.  It not only sparkles but has a nice glimmer.

Rangers Distress Ink was used to color the images.  The Victorian Bird Bath was done with Tea Dye and the trim in Brushed Corduroy.  The birds and flowers were done in Dusty Concord.  The leaves are Peeled Paint.

Here is the die I used to create this card. Isn't it so pretty and sweet. It is from the Victorian Garden Collection by CottageCutz that you can find here.  Thank you for stopping by today.  Have a great day!
