Sometimes you find something so cute that you just have to try creating it again! Last week I shared a card featuring a few new products from Our Daily Bread Designs. Well I loved the card SO much I decided to create a similar card with an entirely different technique. I love finding new ways to incorporate the items I have in my stash. And this time, I found a fun new way to use the Scalloped Chain Die. I also used the Mr. & Mrs. Die and Long Lasting Love stamp set (again). That's a sure sign of something infinitely useful in my stash! ;-)
Really, it isn't nearly as complicated as it looks. I started with a rich eggplant card stock base. I added a slightly smaller white card stock layer, distressing the edges. For the next layer, I used the Scalloped Chain Die and white card stock. After die cutting, I adhered the die cut to a layer of white card stock and inked both the scalloped chain die and white background in graduated distress ink colors. For this project I used a purple, ocean blue and teal color. After inking it to the desired intensity, I trimmed the bottom layer (now inked) to fit neatly under the die cut. Here is a photo of the completed base. But notice what is different? After inking, I FLIPPED the die cut so the color spectrum would be reversed and ADDED back the white center pieces with glue. :-) Here's a photo AFTER flipping and before adding anything else!
Then I could get down to business and dress up this baby! I added a white sentiment mat (created with ODBD's Ovals Die) and focal panel (in a rich purple) using the Layered Lacey Ovals Die. The NEW Mr. & Mrs. Die and a bit of teal CS create the center die cut. I added a few white CS posies (frosted with glitter on the edges) using ODBD's Pretty Posies Die and Lovely Leaves Die. I stamped the sentiment with a soft teal ink on white card stock (Long Lasting Love stamp set) and die cut it using an old favorite, Layered Lacey Ovals Die. And for a bit more bling, I added clear micro beads in the center of each blossom.
So here are the new items you see...
and a few old favorites...
Thank you for stopping by! Be sure to come back Friday. I have a special look back project featuring more products from this month's release at Our Daily Bread Designs. This one will have a whole lotta gold... Blessings!
