Laura Bassen shows us how to create a background by
using our die cuts,
and emboss resisting them.
As families go, I am blessed with a large one.
I love using challenges to create the various cards I make
for each member of my family.
During the holiday season there are 9 birthdays, not to mention
anniversaries and other special events,
like Christmas!
This is a card I've made for a DIL, which always throws
me, as it comes just after Christmas.
Started with the Cover Plate: Center Stage.
Emboss resisted with white, using 4 inks to add color:
Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Spring Mist & Blueberry Sky.
The thin white frame is a piece saved from the Deco Frame Die.
The Leaves are Leaf Prints & die cut from Vellum.
Lots of fun embossing powders create the shimmer.
Stylish Sentiments: Birthday
All mounted on Shimmer card stock.
One down, 8 to go!
