Forest Souls


Hello and welcome!
A simple card for today using this wonderful die my friend Loll Thompson gifted me.
I was thrilled to say the least!!

So here's what I did to create my card.
  • I began by cutting a white cardstock panel for the front of my card and then I centered the die and cut it out with my die cutting machine.  
  • I set that aside and went looking through my stash for an inked piece.  I keep the 'fails' and all my Gel Plate roll off sheets for times just like this.  The piece I found was just a random one that I had put some Brushos onto over a stencil but added too much water and it all bled.  It wasn't good for much except this or I would have cut it up and used it for something else.
  • Before layering the 2 pieces, I placed the white die cut panel into my Misti and stamped the sentiment from Technique Tues. with some Versafine Clair.
  • I glued the 2 panels onto some blue cardstock, then onto a white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Stamps- Christmas Cheer (TT)
Inks- Brushos; Versafine Clair

    I LOVE this beauty of a card, Karen! I wish I had some design dies that cut like that. Mine all cut out the outside shape too. I’ll have to work on figuring something out, because I really love how this technique looks.

    This is a beautiful die Karen and I believe it is an Ali Express one, and so lovely of Loll to gift it to you, and you have given it a brilliant look with the Brusho inked piece from your stash..also love the large sentiment to finish. I would definitely be getting this die if you could get it anywhere else other than China. x

    Beautiful design! Really like how the background is not a solid colour but still highlights the diecut.

    Karen, I believe this is what they call kismet! This was the perfect time for this 'fail' to become the forest!
