Background Basics: Vines Day Three

It's day three of the Papertrey Ink countdown and not only do I get to share more samples using Background Basics: Vines with you today, but today's samples feature something else I've designed for this month. I'm super excited to bring to my very first die design!!!...The Leafy Vine Border Die! This die offers up a fun element to the Background Basics: Vines stamp set or to any of your own creations as well. Join me for a look...Here's the die in action, as a vine border. I die cut the border from Spring Moss cardstock, stamped with polka dots, from Polka Dot Basics II, in Ripe Avocado.Attached a Picnic Plaid impressed kraft panel to the top of the card base. Then stamped a Fillable Frames #4 die cut with a Flower Fusion #6 sentiment, trimmed and attached. I then used the polka dot vine border to cover the seem. Attached a Flower Fusion #6 die cut and stamped flower and then embellished with a couple Orange Zest buttons and a green rhinestone.Here's the die in action, as a flower stem. I started the card by stamping an images from Background Basics: Vines in Fresh Snow ink onto a Soft Stone card base. This detail was hard for me to capture in a photo...so here's a close up shot. It's much easier to see in person.

I used the remainder of the Leafy Vine Border Die die cut from above to create this polka dot flower stem. I attached it directly to the card base and then embellished the top with an Aqua Mist medium Beautiful Blooms II #3 die cut flower, an Aqua Mist button and a silk ribbon bow. Then finished it off with a sentiment.

This die truly has a number of use!! I hope you've enjoyed my fun news today. Please, let me know what you think, I'd love to hear!
