Using your hot foil plates a different way!

 Hi there.   Dawn here to share a card today I've made with products from our sponsor Birch Press Design,


My card today uses two different products from the Birch Press Design range.... a hot foil plate and a die set.
And I'm using the hot foil plate a little different way




I took the Birch Press Hot Foil plate (String Art) and instead of using with foil, I used it to emboss my card.   I then took my green ink blending brush and using the ink already on it, blended all over the panel but leaving the centre clear.  I then used the die from Birch Press (Prime Peony Duo-contour layers) to make my focal point.  I die cut the leaves from two different greens and then cut the flower from white card and used some different pink Altenew inks to colour the different layers.  There are two different flowers and stems.  The sentiment strip is a pre-printed one from Creative Expressions Everyday Sentiment sheet.  

Do come and join us at Die Cut Divas for our Anything Goes Challenge.
