Clustered Leaves- One Craft Die Three Ways

Hello,

I am sharing cards which involves using one die in three different ways. I am sharing this post with Ranganjali Store's Blog. They are also having an amazing GIVEAWAY.

Well, we all know that metal dies can cut paper, felt, foam and a couple of other surfaces, and that, foam shapes are used for stamping. It was the die- Simon Says Stamp's Clustered Leaves die which I felt will turn out to be a good and useful foam stamp having big leaves and a large overall diecut shape. Off course the die creates beautiful, versatile diecut shape which can also be used as a mask, but it also leaves negative shape good enough as a beautiful stencil, albeit for 2-3 dry uses if it is a paper.

Check these out!

Finally, the mask itself becomes an element here.

Blue & Coral- Thanks 1

Hello Friends,

Today, I am posting two thank you cards. Both the backgrounds are done with watercolors techniques.

In the first one, I have tried to use negative painting technique with the aid of the stamped image to create impression of more flowers and background foliage using Faded Jeans distress ink. I then stamped, lightly colored same images in Abandoned Coral distress ink on another watercolor paper, curled the petals with embossing tool and adhered with foam tape on the background.

I layered 'thanks' white on blue to make it more visible. Lastly, added enamel dots and silver leaves with the help of a Memory box's die.

The second card is posted here.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Coral & Blue- Thanks 2

Here is the second thank you card post of the day.

I have painted the background with stampin up's dark blue ink in ombre style. I stamped, colored the images with Abandoned Coral distress ink on vellum. I then cut them and used the embossing tool to curl up the petals. Vellum flowers are then adhered on coral and red cardstock flowers to keep the brightness of their colors unaffected by blue background. Addition of partially embossed stitched frame was an afterthought which seems like was not a bad idea. I embellished the panel with diecut flourishes, silver foiled leaves, red enamel dots and a stripped banner piece. I diecut 'thank you' in white and navy cardstock and layered them. Lastly, I attached the whole watercolored panel on navy blue cardstock and then white base.

That's it!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
