I haven't really got into the groove as far as cardmaking is concerned since my return from Vietnam and Cambodia. We had an amazing time and would thoroughly recommend this holiday!
Anyway firstly here is the DT card for this month's CAS challenge at Happy Little Stampers, where the theme is One Layer.
For my card this time I decided to do a partial die cut. I stamped the HLS butterfly so that the top of it would reach to the top of my usual tent fold card dimensions. I then cut just around the top of the butterfly by placing the die partly over the edge of the cutting plates. The part not between the plates obviously did not get cut.I then folded the card to the edge of the cuts.
The HLS sentiment was stamped using my MISTI and the image coloured with watercolour pencils and a water brush and lightly twinkled with Glamour Dust. I did add a few tiny tiny gems, but I think that it could still be considered one layer.
Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! Check out all the details HERE.
IF YOU USE STAMPS BY HAPPY LITTLE STAMPERS AND YOU ARE OUR RANDOM WINNER, YOUR PRIZE WILL BE DOUBLED!
LOVE your partial die cut card, Chrisse, espcially on a ONE LAYER card. You are a genius! I hope you are settling back into things. Do you have the next holiday planned - perhaps a trip down under?? See you soon, lol. xx
ReplyDeleteOh such a clever way to add interest to a one layer card, love that partial cut butterfly!
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the retreat session with Kylie, love the colour and a great take on the OLC theme. :)
