I went to clean up yesterday's supplies after posting THIS card and decided to make one more card with this fun stuff before putting it away!
The Halfsies Diamond die always makes a clean and elegant card, enabling the focal point to shine. I kept that very simple, inking up one cherry blossom branch image, die cutting it and adding an olive green thread bow.
Another special die cut, *new* to me, is the Brick Layer Die. I placed the die on the card front itself. The Halfsies panels were inked with Distress Oxides and placed over the card front. Adding an inked panel inside the top of the card adds depth and hides any writing on the inside of the card. Hope that makes sense.
I wanted the look of warm stucco for the card front, so I let my inking be a bit mottled. I really liked how that turned out, but it was difficult to photograph!
This is my second card made for the Freshly Made Sketches this week. This take on the sketch is much more CAS.
Thank you so much for your visit and kind words. Take care and I pray that you will stay well.
