I've been wanting to do this technique for awhile now - where you use part of a die or cut file to create the look of a trellis with some flowers climbing on it. I started with a Silhouette cut file called lattice placemat and using the Silhouette knife tool cut out most of it so that it would fit on a card front. Here is the original file (which is a 12 x 12 design) and how I used it on the card front.
I stamped the Apple Blossom image to overlap the cut out area. This was done intentionally. I stamped the image again on a separate piece of paper, colored the larger blossom, cut it out and popped it up on the main panel I sponged some memento ink around the edges.
I found some pretty green organza ribbon along with a stash of silver thank you charms that I have had for ages and added them to the card.
The Apple Blossom image was colored with copics. It can be found on the IBFS store here.
I decided to do another card with the same stamp but really had nothing in mind. So I first stamped the image several times in versamark and embossed the images....
Then I took several shades of blue ink and just covered the card with the ink.
Loved the color scheme and decided to make a few tags...
I figured I had the makings of a card at this point so I stamped the bottom of a card base with the same stamp and ink and placed the tags on the front. Here is the final version.
The "thanks" is a cut file.
Thanks for stopping by today. Hop on over to the IBFS store to find your favorite image!
