Spring Blog Blitz – Atessa Collage
by Ilona Zbieg

Hello Everyone!
We are having the last two days of our Blog Blitz. You can leave a comments till March 21.
Today I'm sharing the new Atessa Collage die.
I made a fresh and spring card. I painted white watercolor paper in various shades of yellow and orange. I used my Peerless Watercolors from Birch Press Design. Then I used the Atessa Collage and cut out the background.
Under the yellow paper I glued kraft paper. Each butterfly is the same size but in two colors: glitter gold and green. At the end I added a few gold sequins and splash sheet with black paint.
We've got some new dies to share and that means we're having a Blog Blitz!
