Vintage Birds

Good morning Dies R Us friends ~ Birgit here with you today.  My project  is a bit vintage and reflects my love for birds and anything vintage.  This is my last post as a designer for Dies R Us Inspiration Blog and I just wanted to say thank you so much to Dani and Darlene for giving me this opportunity to work with you!  I've loved my time with DRU so much and will miss it!

I started by cutting the Impression Obsession Ornate Oval Frame out of gold foil paper and a light and dark pink so that I could layer the frame up using different color elements.

I glued the gold frame over the vintage bird image and then glued the next piece of the frame and trimmed it out using my scissors.

Isn't this frame gorgeous and just perfect for this vintage image?

Next, I prepared an A2 sized white card stock base by blending Broken China and Antique Linen Distress Inks to the front.  At the last minute I decided to stencil on some hearts using a heart stencil and Worn Lipstick Distress Ink.

I assembled the card and adhered the word Hello from the Impression Obsession Greeting Set.  This is a great set as it has multiple sentiments in a great font.

Here's a snapshot of the supplies I used today:
