Good afternoon all,
Wow , it is Friday already.
This week has certainly whizzed.
Today I am going to share an Eclipse card with you.
I do love making these.
It can be any design in the background and any word die cut.
So many possibilities.
I started out by selecting the die cut letters for the word Dream and
making sure that they would fit on my piece of stamping card.
Next I started adding some distress Oxide Inks using
Billy Brayer...wow, he is having a few outings recently.
He is so excited about his visit to Hochanda next week.
Don’t worry about any lines or uneven coverage of ink, as this is just the start of the background.
Next some water flicks.
A large moon mask and then some stamping.
First in Oxide ink to represent flowers in the distance of our scene.
Then in VersaFine ink for the foreground.
I added some dragonflies and then blended some ink around the edges.
That gave me my completed scene, so next to the die cutting.
There are many different ways to do this,
I must say, this is just the way that I like to do it.
I die cut the letters in white card, black card and then out of the scene.
Next I mounted the scene onto white card and placed the white die cut letters into the spaces.
On top of those I added the black letters, just moving then to the side slightly , to achieve
a drop shadow effect.
Finally , I added the topper die cut letters.
What a wonderful effect.
Look at a side view
All the stamps that I have used are from Lavinia stamps.
