Hello everyone! What a hectic Wednesday I had yesterday! Whew! I am glad that day is over...on to fun stuff now. In Lesson 3 of my CAS class, Jennifer McGuire shared a really cool die-cut layering technique. She created a gorgeous tone on tone card and that is where I drew inspiration from for the card I am sharing today. I actually made two cards using this technique. I didn't like the end result of the first one, so of course, I had to create another one to show all of you. At the last moment, I decided to post the one I didn't like also. I really want you all to grasp how difficult this class is for me. I am really stressing out over these projects! LOL! Okay, enough babbling, onto the cards...
This first one, is my second attempt at applying Jennifer's techniques. I like this one.
I used regular thin dies to cut the snowflakes, but by using the layering technique, they look like chipboard and they feel like chipboard too, nice and sturdy. I stamped each snowflake with Versarmark ink and heat embossed with Iridescent Ice. Nice and Sparkly...just like I like it!
Okay so now on to the next one. I used the same layering technique, but I used patterned paper instead of plain card stock. This idea was soooo pretty in my head. Oh well...here it is. I don't like this one. At all.
I can tell you now that I will re-make this using card stock. I just wanted to show that things don't always work out the way I planned them. I know we all have 'those days'.
Thank for you visiting me today! I appreciate it!
Blessings~

I was thinking about adding some bling to mine and now that I see yours and how beautiful it is, I think I should! :)
These are both gorgeous Barb. I love the colors on both of them.
