This is my second post today, so please scroll down for my CASE study card.
Well, as the first Thursday of December it’s time for an awesome photograph from For Your Inspiration! Seriously, look at this beauty!
The colours are what really struck me about this photo, that and the horizontal lines. Here’s my take.
Supplies: Stamps – Papertrey Ink tiny tags; Inks – versafine onyx black; Card – Stampin’ Up elegant eggplant; Dies – Memory Box country landscape, Papertrey Ink tiny tags; Twine – The Twinery pink sorbet; Glamour Dust crystal
My card base is a rich elegant eggplant reminiscent of the purple sky and the pink twine reflects the colour as the sky approaches the city. My buildings are of a more country nature, but I can’t seem to put down my Memory Box country landscape die!
This week we welcome a new design team member; Rochelle Washington! Please pop by and say hello to Rochelle, she is wonderfully talented. Here’s the DT list as it now stands:
I love the design and have the die cut. I was wondering how you did the middle row, I thought it was just turning it in the opposite direction but that doesn’t seem to match up. Could you explain how you did this?
Thanks!
Hi Marcia, I love that die! To get the middle layer you need to have a long strip of card. Cut the die once then line up the end carefully and cut again. You end up with a double length die cut and then choose the piece which complements your other layers. Hope that makes sense!
