Penny Black Feature (& Light Bulb Moment)

Hello friends!

I am popping in with a happy and chirpy card today.
 The stamp set "Just Looking" is the perfect set for this.

 I wanted to utilize the leaf stamp and decided to stamp a background with it.

The word "magical" is part of the die that comes with this "Just Looking" Die set.

Once I stamped the image with various colors, I drew out the colors from each area and added some more colors. 

I am not sure if you can see it, but I also ran the bird die through the embossing Mat and made a dry-embossed image around the birdie.

Coordinating dies are not just to save you fussy-cutting.... 

You can do the following: 

1. die cutting: (the most obvious reason)

2. stenciling: create your own acetate/paper stencils with positive and negative die cut

3. masking: you can mask the images with the dies

4. dry-embossing: you only need to add a tan-embossing mat and ran it through the die-cut machine 

5. tracing the outline: to add extra interest, you can simply trace the line outside the die

I hope today's post gives you some food for thoughts.
