Sizzix Birds and Branches Die

I had to make a couple of ATCs with foreign text on them for a swap and ended up making a series of nine! I scanned French, Russian and Italian book pages and printed them off onto cheap coloured paper and papers I'd decorated myself with acrylics and brusho. I cut them using Sizzix dies. Finally, I added a few stamps to finish off/fill spaces.

Birds and Branches has turned out to be a brilliant die. I tend to buy the dies that can cut thicker materials like grungeboard and felt, but the birds/branches available were too large for my needs. So I went with this decorative strip despite the fact it only cuts paper and thin card. It's turned out to be really great value on a cost per use basis.

Once I've chosen the ones for the swap the rest will be available for trade via my Flickr page.

These are really gorgeous Deb and so eyecatching. Thanks for your message and I'd love to do a swap. A couple have already gone via Trimcraft so have a look at my gallery (better photos on there) and see if there's one that takes your fancy. Just let me know if there is.
In the meantime, I'll have a look at yours and get back to you.

Me again!
Just had a look on Flickr and would really love to swap 4/9 as the colours are so beautiful.
Couldn't comment on Flickr as no account (yet!) so hope it's still available.
