The gals at JUGS have named me Chic of the Week for last week's lunch box entries. Thanks so much ladies!
A new challenge prompt is up and it's a good one. Stacking die cuts.
There are many ways to do this. One method that I use quite often is to adhere 3-4 sentiment die cuts together so that they're the thickness of chipboard. It really helps the sentiment stand out on a page. Because I wanted to challenge myself to do something different I decided to stack a background die.
My original plan was to offset the two die cut panels to create a shadow-like layer. It looked nice but then the thought struck me to flip the top layer 180 degrees which created this beautiful effect. (Very Jennifer McGuire looking, don't you think?)
I stamped a piece of leftover watercolor paper with a background stamp and added in a single layer of the die cut word Hugs. This card falls into the category of "hope I never need but am prepared if/when I do."
Lil Inkers - Diagonal Plaid Die
Simon Says Stamp - Quilted Heart Stamp, Pained Hugs Die
Memory Box - Heart Die
Hero Arts - Hero Hues Cardstock (divine stuff!)
Thank you for a bit of your time and I do hope you play along! Hope to see ya on the crafty side.....
