For my Twist Panel Pop-Up card I knew I wanted to use the small birds from the Garden Birds stamp set to decorate my pop-up panels.
Rather than cutting apart the stamps, I embossed the entire sheet in white. This was super easy and gave me a "coloring sheet" of birds to work with. I tapped a Distress Ink rainbow onto my mat then used my water reservoir brush to watercolor the images.
I had an absolute BLAST coloring these cuties! (The trick is to extend the color beyond the image for easier cutting.) Of course, I had a ton of ink left on my mat, so I decided to dip the pop-up panels into the inks to make a fun background for my birdies. I still had ink left, so I dipped some other scraps and then embossed some Fine Flowers Vol. 2 images onto those. This card is bursting with color and fun when you open it!
I also got to work with the Tag Pop-Up Die Set. I decided to use Distress Oxides to switch it up a little and show both techniques.
I knew I wanted to use the Friendship Flowers stamp set to do a resist of some sort. I die cut my pop-up panels from watercolor paper and embossed the flowers in white. (See how I positioned the flowers so that the stems extended the perimeter of the panel?) I used a rainbow of Distress Oxide colors. Tapping the pads on my mat, then spritzing with water and dipping the panel into the pooled ink. I did one color at a time and dried between colors. Oxides work really well this way. Last I stamped around the white embossing in colored inks for more variation.
I embossed the sentiment and floral collage from Botanical Script in black and colored the image with Oxides. I repeated the dipping process with the other die cut elements to complete the tag book. These are so much prettier in person! I will do some videos on Instagram (@sewpaperpaint) so you get the full effect. :)
Huge thanks to Karen and Rachel for making this hop a reality.! Make sure to visit these other incredible designers along the hop:

Amazing cards! Love your use of color! And I like that you used the tag card 'portrait' instead of 'landscape'. I would not have thought to do that. Even more possibilitiesè
WOW these are absolutely stunning love the fantastic folds and the bright coloured birds and panels--brilliant
