Hi everyone. Today's card is a reminder that there's still time to enter the current challenge at Time Out Challenges (#15 - Stamping with an optional twist of Apples). This is such a fun challenge ... I hope you'll join in.
As you can see, I didn't use the optional twist, but I did stamp this beautiful daisy from STAMPlorations and colored it with Copics. I followed the idea of the cut out panel technique by Maile Belles, although I didn't follow her instructions completely. Instead, I stamped, colored and cut out my daisy image and attached to a card front with an "H" cut. It seemed easier and I love the way it looks, exposing the strip of pretty embossing in-behind. I added some gold stickles to the center of the flower for some sparkle and shine ... and stamped a simple sentiment to finish.
Stamps: Boxed Blooms and Bold Sentiments (STAMPlorations), A Little Sentimental (Clearly Besotted)
Paper: White (Neenah)
Ink: Black (Memento); Black marker (SU!); Copics: Y21, YR24, YR07, R17, R27, R29, G43, YG67

A beauty, Loll...love the texture peeking through!
ReplyDeleteLove the card and if this is an easier way to do it, I want to try it. But what is an "H cut?"
ReplyDeleteLaura
Hi Laura. I cut to expose the embossed layer underneath ... the card front is still one piece (it may look two to you, with a small strip on the right hand size and a larger one on the left). But it is actually one piece with 1 1/4" wide sections cut from the top and bottom, leaving a small cross strip so that I could attach the daisy panel. This keeps it sturdy. I hope that makes sense. Loll :)
DeleteI love your cards! So clean and elegant!!

ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous! You have really been doing some beautiful cards of late. Great ideas that you share too! Thanks Loll.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous. Lovely flower, beautiful embossing, and I have no clue as to what an "H" cut is, so will be googling to find out! I did see Benzi do the Maile technique a while back. Your card is wonderful! Off to enjoy an earlier post that I've missed. TFS & Hugs. Happy wkend.
ReplyDeleteI am loving this card design Loll! It is so cool how the embossing pops out from underneath the other layers. I also love, love the flower and the way you colored it. Such fun bright colors and some sparkle in the middle-couldn't ask for more! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI really love this card, Loll! Your Copic coloring is just beautiful, and I love the design! Awesome CASE of Maile's card!

ReplyDeleteStunning, Loll! Like some of the others, I didn't know what an H cut was; thanks for explaining in one of the responses. I'd love, love and love to see a tutorial on how you created this...pretty, pretty please?

ReplyDeleteI love everything about this card, Loll! That strip of embossing showing makes for a beautiful background and sets off the daisy nicely. Got this card filed in my cards to CASE folder!
