Dancing In The Flowers Vignette Decor

Hello friends! Today I'm working with the Tim Holtz Stacked dies I love the versatility of these dies. You can use them on cards, mixed media projects, assemblage pieces and more. The dies also fit the Vignette boxes from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology line. In fact, Tim has an awesome video where he shares some tips for using his stacked dies. Check it out here:

You can see in our project today I've stacked the dies to create a window with a border around the focal point of our piece. Are you ready to dive in?
