SSS Layered Birdy Wafer Die + Peonies and Leaves Stencil #ssstothemoon

Hello crafty friends, I made a slimline card using the new Layered Birdy Wafer Die + Peonies and Leaves Stencil from “To The Moon Release by Simon Says Stamp”.

This card measures 8-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ inches.

To The Moon Release by Simon Says Stamp is a love/friendship-themed release and it includes stencils, stamps, dies, and glimmer plates.

Layered Birdy Wafer Die

Layered Birdy wafer die is a single die that will cut 6 different pieces to assemble a little bird.

The bird measures about 1-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ inches.

The sky is the limit when thinking about ways to add color to the die-cuts or to apply different mediums to cardstock to then die-cut it.

I used Distress Ink to add colour.

• First, I die cut all the pieces out of white cardstock.
• Then, I applied Antique Linen , Tumbled Glass, Prize Ribbon, Chipped Saphire, Blueprint Sketch, and a hint of Gathered Twigs and Rusty Hinge Distress inks.
• I also applied a gold wax over the beack.
• Next, I glued some of the pieces together and I used a dimentional foam pad to adhere the wing.
• I added a Black Nuvo Drop on the eye and when dried I added Nuvo Crystal Glaze.
• To add interest I added black and white dots using a Black Glaze Pen and a Gel white pen by Sakura.
• To add sparkle, I applied Spellbinders Sprakle Silk over the bird.

Peonies and Leaves Stencil

• For the background, I first die cut a panel out of 300 grams white cardstock using dies from Fluted Classic Slimline Dies.
• Then, I affix the Peonies and Leaves Stencil over one corner of the panel using a piece of the Best Ever Craft Tape.
• Next, I added color using Distress Inks and SSS Blending Brushes.

I used the same ink colours used to add colour to the Layered Birdy, plus purple and black inks to add more contrast.

• Antique Linen

Finishing Touches

• Once the stencilled panel was finished, I mixed black ink with water and I splattered over it.
• To add sparkle, I also splattered Spellbinders Sprakle Silk.
• To finish, I die-cut two ( 2) branches out f white smooth cardstock using SSS Privet Branch wafer die.
• Then, I glued one over the other one, and I glued them over the stencilled panel.
• Using dimentional pads, I adhered the bird over the branch.
• To embellis, I used dark blue pearls by Picket Fence.
• The sentiment was white heat embossed on Navy Blue Cardstock.
• To finish, I filled an empty Nuvo Shimmer Pen with Spellbinders Sprakle Silk and I applied this over the banner.
