I used an image that originally had three birds in ovals from Birds and Botanicals Journal Booklet. I fussy cut each oval and put them on a scalloped oval cut from a spellbinders die and then I added three layers of UTEE. Once they were cooled and set, one of the bird images was quite warped and as I was trying to flatten it, I cracked the UTEE! So I got two cards out of the image instead of three. I loved how the UTEE deepened the colors in the images and added to the vintage-y look.
Overall, I think they came out pretty sweet! Thanks for visiting! Blessings~ Birgit

Hi, Birgit! I love the way you treated the Bird Ovals with UTEE...they look like vintage cameos. And, I crack my UTEE on purpose to give the finished image a really old "Cracked Glass" look. You can also reheat the UTEE and fix the cracks if you decide you don't like them. It's a great product. I love the way you combined fresh modern elements like the chevron design with the wonderful vintage images in Birds and Botanicals. It's one of my favorite sets! Thanks for joining us at the June Crafty Secrets Linky Party!
