I chose to be inspired by this one of Chrissie's.
As you may have realised, it's for my very good friend Vivienne, who has known me since I was eleven, and sometimes knows me better than I know myself. I've just realised that no one apart from my family has known me longer.
I've found a simpler method for this technique that doesn't require a stamp positioner. I stamp my image, die cut the letters out of that piece then adhere the piece to the base card. I cut two or three extra plain sets of letters and layer them back into the apertures, and add the original cuts on top so the picture matches.
It still takes a while but the picture always lines up.
I'm off to do some commenting on everyone else's lovely creations.
Very pretty card. Haven't tried this technique yet but your version does sound easier! Might have a go tomorrow while waiting for the plumber!

I didn't think of this. It does sound easier to do. I was searching to a good way, but finihed it already. I'm going to try this too. It's a beautiful card. It looks so simple.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant card Pat and a great way of achieving it too. Thanks for the tip. I'm sure your friend will be delighted.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much

wonderfull card
ReplyDeletethanks for the tip
Now that's a great idea for this technique! I LOVE how this turned out. What letter dies did you use? You asked about the scoring on my butterfly card...you nailed it. I scored on the front, flipped it over and re-scored from the back. Works perfect every time! Again..LOVE your card!!
ReplyDeleteHi Susan, it's the Memory Box Parker, lowercase set.
DeleteIngenious...I had THOUGHT of something like that...you have put it to the paper:)!! ...and beautifully so...she will LOVE this card!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, totally brilliant, Pat! I knew there was a reason I was holding off trying this amazing technique! Your card is stunning, and Vivienne will treasure it!!
