I used my Happy Day die to create the partial cut. Then I masked the diecut area and stamped my BB: Houndstooth over the background. I removed the mask and stamped the Happy Day stamp frame.
This card also works for Ashley's Embellish Colour Challenge :
I used PTI cardstock (rustic white, sweet blush), stamps (happy day, BB:houndstooth, Signature Sentiments: Dress form) & dies (happy day). The patterned paper is My Mind's Eye (butterflies, stripe, gingham) and Crate (yellow butterfly punched out with my MS butterfly punch). The little gems on the butterfly are Hero Arts.
Thanks for looking!
Love the mix of colors and patterns here Leigh. Your stiching is top notch!
ReplyDeleteLeigh, what a lovely card, so sweet and the wonderful little butterfly, just too cute. Such a sweet card for your daughter's teacher.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Did you use grunge board plus foam as your shim?
ReplyDeleteGreat take on this technique! Love the card!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Love the masking and the addition of the houndstooth. The MIM vid looked so fiddly to me. Did your clever self find a more hassle-free way to cut out the die?
