Yesterday afternoon, I watched a Facebook Live session by Christine Emberson Spellbinders Ambassador. Where she demonstrated the use of two sets of dies. I don't have those dies, but today I decided to use a similar layout and dust of some Spellbinders dies which I have not used for some time to make a tag.
I have used an assortment of Spellbinder dies for my tag. I used an off-cut of green distressed looking paper and stuck it to a tag to create the base. I then used a lattice die to create the cream trellis work (I seem to have mis-laid the packet) and lightly inked the edges in an olive green ink.
I then die cut a circle in cream card and stamped the sentiment using a Stampin' Up set called "Hello Friend" in a sepia Versafine ink. Using the Spellbinders Shapeabilities wreath die I cut the wreath in brown card and stuck it around the circle.
Using water colour paper, I die cut the leaves and layers of petals, using Spellbinders "Timeless Heart - Textured Flowers". I then coloured them using Tim Holtz Distress Inks, building up the colours as I went. I spritzed the pieces which then allowed me to manipulate the shapes to have curves. I then secured the layers together with a small brad.
Love it - and I love the use of lots of products from different companies - I'm off to have a look at Spellbinders - I've not come across them x
