At the top of my pile of challenges was the Muse Challenge #40 and this card from Darnell Knauss. Darnell is one of the friendliest crafty bloggers around and her posts always leaving you smiling and occasionally cause you to spit coffee all over the computer screen. She has taken the guest design opportunity to remind us that October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and offers this serene card with a message of support to inspire us.
Using a similar floral stamp to Darnell's and markers, the focal image was stamped on a die cut. A strip of white cardstock was repeatedly stamped with the image, using a little selective masking and stamping off to make side panel.
I am really loving Avery Elle sentiments right now and used a technique that I have seen around for a while and had on my "must try this" list to layer it on the popped up die cut. The first time I saw this layered stamping was on JJ Bolton's blog post here with a tutorial.
You can see the sentiment is stamped on the panel first and then again on the die cut.
Thanks for stopping by,
Jacquie
Oh, man, Jacquie, I am now putting your card on the top of my "to CASE" list! I absolutely LOVE the design of your card with the popped up sediment (I, too, love that set from AE!) and the popped up panels!! Your handmade side border is divine in the ombre pinks and greens!! Thank you so much for CASEing my MUSE card so beautifully! I promise I'll come by and clean your monitor one of these days!! Hugs, Darnell
