Today is the first class in Online Card Classes Clean and Simple 3. This class focuses on one layer cards. Today's homework is to use one of the faux techniques - I chose inlaid die-cuts. I actually made another card yesterday with this technique, so I remade the card with different colours for the flowers (yesterday I used orange and pink as my colour combo).
Today I used the same pink (RV09) and an aqua (BG13). I like this colour combo as much as yesterday's. I die cut all the flowers out of the pink panel (SU Melon Mambo) and backed it with a piece of typing paper that was cut to the same size. I die cut the flowers three more times and inlaid the white outline. I took the petal centers and coloured them with the copics - I used my version of Kristina Werner's blended feathering technique (see yesterday's post for a link to her video tutorial). I stamped the sentiments from Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler with versamark and then heat embossed with white EP. I really went nuts with my embossing buddy in order to make sure that my white EP did not stick where it was not supposed to - that was an issue with yesterday's card. I think I need to get better quality white EP too - any recommendations? Anyway, I love the way the whole thing turned out. This card reminds me a little of a Hawaiian shirt!
Thanks for taking the time to stop by, I really love the feedback!
Happy Stamping,
Meg
