Today we have Kelly Rasmussen here to share some fabulous "beyond the kit" ideas for a few of the add-ons. Take it away, Kelly...
The two dies in this release are great elements to make the focal point of your cards. First up, I created a card using the beautiful Cherry Blossom Cover Plate Die.
There are so many possibilities for creating gorgeous backgrounds with this die! I chose to create a soft look by painting the tree with watercolors and ink-blending a sunny sky background.
All I needed to finish this card was a simple stamped sentiment and some Pink Translucent Enamel Dots. Those little raised dots are the absolute perfect embellishment for the cherry blossom tree.
For a completely different look, I think it would be beautiful to die-cut this Cover Plate from black cardstock and create a silhouette over an ink-blended sunset sky.
The other new die for the March release is the Bonsai Fancy Die. I die-cut the image from several different colors of cardstock and then pieced it back together. This is a great way to get a multi-colored image without having to get out any coloring mediums.
I also used the new Origami Paper Bold Prints background stamp to create a subtle tone-on-tone pattern on Peony cardstock. And behind the circle frame, I placed a piece of Woodgrain Vellum, which is a nice complementary texture next to the tree.
