Group of Cardmakers -Inlaid Die cuts


Hi everyone the Group of Cardmakers are playing with dies again. This month we are inlaying some colour inside the die cuts. Inlay can be clouding the die cuts, using Designer Paper ore scraps of leftover backgrounds.

Inlaid Paper Backgrounds by Cathy Zielske (7:52)

For my first card I watercoloiured the inlay pieces cut from white card into a black outline, the background is a script embossing folder.

For my second card, I used one of my favourite poinsettia dies I've blended inks on the first die cut image without removing the pieces then die cut the outline a second time in gold.


My third card I rummaged through my stash and found a scrap of salted water colour background. I die cut the frame twice in white card and layered them for a little dimension, then die cut the background. the sentiment was die cut twice, once in the watercolour card and again in black, the black was off set slightly to give a shadow effect making it stand out a little more on the background.

We hop you give this fun technique a try, it's a great way to use up some scraps and have fun with your dies.

Another Salt Background

I have another Salt background to show you this time with an ocean theme.

Wet on wet watercolour, sprinkle course grain salt over it and wait for it to dry. Once dry brush off the salt and stamp. I used Versafine Clair and clear embossing powder to stamp the images.



I'm entering the following Challenges.
I hope it's CAS enough for the two CAS Challenges.

Treats on Tuesday for Magenta

It's time to play over at Magenta.


I used a salted watercolour background and layered the stamps using Delicata Silver and Distress Oxide Peeled Paint.  The focal stamp was stamped in Black Archival and the leaves were coloured lightly using a watercolour pen. The final touch was a little stenciling in Distress ink. The whole panel was sprayed with Shimmer spray to make it glisten.

I used the following stamps and stencils

Garlic Flowers

Distressed Background Text

Bubbles

TM219 Alpha and Number Duo - Set of 2
