Hi everyone and welcome, Eloise here and today is Day Two of the Blog Blitz. I’m so excited to be here sharing this project with you today. For today’s project I’ll be using the new Metro Triangle Collage Die, which is this intricate triangle die with a cool pattern imbedded in it, which is super cool and I really wanted to do some simple ink blending behind it for a cool effect. I’ll also be pulling in the new Big Friend Sugar Script Die for my sentiment and using the Sending Love Stamp Set for an additional part of my sentiment as well.
To begin my project today, I cut down a piece of white card stock to 4″ wide by 5 1/2″ tall. I then die cut the Metro Triangle Collage Die from opposite corners of the card stock panel. Once they were die cut, I set it off to the side and worked on the sentiment.
I used the Big Friend Sugar Script Die and cut it from two shades of blue card stock, the word from the lighter, and then solid background from the darker shade. I added foam tape to the back of the friend word and adhered it onto the background piece. Before adhering the sentiment to my project, I took a piece of yellow card stock and filled in the gap between the two die cuts. I then adhered the entire element onto the right hand side of my project.
Next, I took a piece of watercolour card stock and used three colours of pinky Distress Inks to ink blend onto the panel. I used Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar and just faded it out to white at the bottom. I then added liquid adhesive along the back of my die cut panel and adhered it into place.
Lastly, I used the Sending Love Stamp Set and white heat embossed the ‘For You’ sentiment onto a thin black strip and adhered it above my friend word.
Now onto the giveaway details. The prize today is the Metro Triangle Collage Die that I used in my project today. It’s an amazing die with lots of intricate details and it’s super unique and fun. The Blog Blitz is running from August 23rd to August 28th, so make sure you leave a comment by then and winners will be announced on September 3rd. Good luck!
Thanks once again for stopping by today, make sure you check back tomorrow and I’ll see you next time!

I love Birch Press Dies. They make the most beautiful cards. The metro die is another terrific design. I have several of the Birch Press dies, but am a big believer that you could never have too many of them. Thank you for sharing other ways to use the dues we gave and try to win another to use!

I never even thought to use two cuts of this die on either corner of a card but what a beautiful design. The ink blending that peeks through the die cut is a great touch and perfect way to customize with color!
