Cover Die Eclipse

Welcome

This week, it's my turn to host the TLC Challenge (Technique Lovers) over at Splitcoast Stampers.

The technique we will be trying out this week is called

Cover Die Eclipse

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• To do this technique, you will need a cover plate die.  I used the Simple Plaid cover plate die from Tim Holtz.   NOTE:  There are variations of this technique using stamping with you Misti and lining up the stamped images. If you don't have any cover dies, you could also use multiple small shape dies to cut the second panel and put them in place
• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Waffle Flower Stencil Mat and inked up the Cozy Knit stencil from A Colorful Life Designs with some Rustic Wilderness and some Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink.
• I placed a second piece of white cardstock onto my Stencil Mat and repeated the same process as mentioned above, using the same stencil and inks.
• Using the Simple Plaid Cover Plate die, I die cut one of the panel.
• I glued the die cut cover panel over the first panel I stenciled, matching up the pattern. It gave a fun, texture to the piece.  
• While that dried, I die cut the sentiment from some white cardstock and glued it onto the matching shadow die cut in red.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of red cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.  
• I used some foam tape to add the sentiment to the center of the card front.
• Finally, I added 5 silver gems around the sentiment.

Here is the stencil I used:
