TLC- Flowers for My Friend



Welcome

It's my turn to host the TLC Challenge (Technique Lovers) over at Splitcoast Stampers this week.
I've been noticing a trend of many card makers as they look back and remember some of the older techniques we haven't visited in awhile so....
We are revisiting an older challenge that I did about 3 years ago called Stripped Down, also known as 

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • First, I randomly inked up a piece of white cardstock with some Broken China, Wilted Violet and some Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide inks.
  • I dried the ink on the panel and used a die to cut it into strips.  It helps to keep them together in the order that I had inked them up, by placing a piece of low tack tape along the back. This will be important for the next steps.
  • When they were all cut, I peeled them off the tape from the back and glued them onto another piece of white cardstock, flipping every other strip around to face in the opposite direction.
  • After I had them all glued down, I splattered the panel with my white Posca pen and then set it aside to dry.
  • I die cut the flowers with another piece of white cardstock, I also die cut the 'friend' sentiment 5 times and glued them on top of each other, stacking them together.
  • I glued my strip panel card front onto a piece of white cardstock, then blue, then onto a white A2 sized card base.
  • Lastly, I glued the flowers and the sentiment over the strips.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.
