Another Split Panel Design

Hi everyone.  First I want to thank my wonderful SIL, Alex for helping me create some beautiful photo backdrops.  We worked together gathering items from around my house.  Alex put them together to create four fantastic vignettes, photographed them and had them printed onto vinyl.  It's been lots of fun and a great learning experience for me as well.

On to the card ... I tried the split panel technique again, this time using the same white background for both pieces rather than swapping out the split part with coloured card stock.  I heat embossed the image twice in liquid platinum before colouring, splitting and swapping panels.  The sentiment banner is also heat embossed with the same liquid platinum.

I used the beautiful image from WPlus9 that I received from my friend Trina.  I watercoloured with Stampin' Up! dye inks this time.  I think I like the brightness of the zig watercolouring better, but I really wanted to use red this time and find there is not a good red in my set of 48 zig markers.  They mostly go on as bright pink and I wanted to have a true red this time.

Below are photos of both cards.  Great way to make two cards from one coloured image. :)


... and the reverse ...

    Beautiful heat embossed and watercoloured flowers for your split panel design. I love both your cards, Loll and you have inspired me to try your technique. It is so cool that way you were able to make 2 cards out of your one watercoloured image. TFS my friend. Hugs..

    Oh my gosh, Lol!! These are incredible! Those colors are just beautiful together, and I love the platinum embossing. The way you've used your watercolors, it looks as if those blooms could jump off the card. Simply stunning. LOVE these. Bev

    Awesome backdrops for your card photo, Alex is an awesome photographer :)
    I love the split card, such a great way to get a twoofer. I know you like the colours with zigs but I love the depth of colour from the SU inks.

    I've been loving your split panel cards. Unfortunately I can't try them because the hinge on my MISTI broke and the company will do nothing about it. I hope someone comes up with a sturdy tool that will let us double stamp with accuracy soon.

      Hi Bobbie. I'm replying here because I don't have your email address. I hope you check back. :)

      Sorry to hear about your Misti. If you haven't owned it for very long, then they should replace it or have it fixed for you. If you went through where you bought it and are getting nowhere, try contacting the originator "My Sweet Petunia" and see if they will help you. Loll :)

    I love this split panel idea Loll, one to remember for the future, and your colours are gorgeous and the black panel across the card as the split point is a lovely contrast. I love your new backdrops too. x

    I love split panel cards and both of yours turned out beautifully, Loll! Your color palette is so pretty and stamping with Liquid Platinum EP was the perfect choice!
    LOVE your back drop, too...I noticed it right away!
