Group of Cardmakers - Split Card Design

Hi everyone, it's time for the Group of Cardmakers technique for April. This month we are trying some split cards. 

Split cards work better with large images which can be divided up to cover your card, it's fun to make two cards out of the stamped images.

 I must admit I prefer the cards with a small section of coloured card andI think my first card is my favourite.

Here are some videos so you can see how the cards are made.

Split Card Designs by Mindy Eggen Design (11:56) - Mindy shows how to create 2 card with one large image.  

My first and second card are made with an AAL and Create Tracy Evans stamp, I added a little colour to the flowers and the bottle and went with a bold colour in the side panel.

My third and fourth cards are to add to my Christmas stash and I used a Tim Holtz Christmas stamp and Sentiment. Again I prefer the card with the bigger white panel.

Acrylic Paint Backgrounds- Tracy Evans

Hi Everyone, I was watching a Tracy Evans video which had a Gesso Resist background and thought I would play a little.

My first card was inspired by the gesso resist but other than the colour and the gesso is very different to Tracy's, the second is a brayered background and Tracy's Hare stamp.

Card 1 I brayered gesso over the card then brayered the yellow and a turquoise acrylic paint. I then used one of Tracy's stamps to stamp the background using a MISTI and re stamped and fussy cut the butterfly wing and the postage stamps after pre colouring with pencils.

Card 2 - I brayered pink and blue on a piece of 110lb white card and then using the MISTI stamped the Hare. I re stamped the Hare on another piece of card coloured it with pencils and fussy cut it out and stuck it to the acrylic paint brayered card. I love the colours on this one.
