I'm working on the December sketch for the Die-Namites dare. I have been wanting to try a new technique and thought this would be a good opportunity.
I've used My Minds Eye Abbey Road papers. The blue card base is Stomp "Watch Out" Lizard Eggs paper and the Tag is Stomp "Brothers" Dinosaur Dots paper. I just love those names!! The dots paper had a fancy edge which I have taken advantage of.
This is so cool. I have seen this a few places and wanted to give it a go. Die cut your image from the same paper as the background to give an embossed effect. Love this. I cut Die-Namites Spring Branch twice from the Lizard Eggs paper. Where it crosses the dots paper I thought it needed something extra so I masked and inked the center area with VersaMagic Aegean Blue. This is such a lovely delicate die cut. It looks gorgeous used in this manner.
I added some Making Memories brads and some twine I dyed with DI Vintage photo. The chipboard was coloured with VersaMagic Aegean Blue and ColorBox Alabaster chalk and then I used Imagination Crafts Jade Sparkle Medium on the edge. The Gratulerer (congratulations in Norwegian) sentiment is a gold sticker.
