Here is my take on the
Sketch & Dare Challenge...
"Love Struck"
Handmade Card to share with you all.
I used the following Die~Namites Dies!!
and
(This die I cut apart and only used the cherub with arrow....see photos below.)
Here is a collage of photos of how I colored my Die~Namites Dies.
Simple Steps
Step 1. Die cut out of white card stock.
Step 2. Color the die cut pieces with your favorite mist...here
I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist, I used a paint brush to give
me more control where the color went on the die piece.
Step 3. Make sure you dry the die cut piece in between each color.
Step 4. Have fun with your dies (see last photo) I decided I only wanted
the cherub with arrow and not the heart...so I simple cut the die cut piece apart.
Here are close ups of the steps I just shared.
"cherub with arrow"
"the vines peeking out"
Tip & Technique
I am sharing with you here in this collage photo...
I took Petaloo flowers and cut them apart, inked the ivory flower
up to match the color tones of the card.
As well as cutting it apart to snuggle around the red flower...
this gave depth and color tones to help balance the card out.
Lastly here is one more collage photo
to gaze upon how pretty and how easy it is to use your Die~Namites Dies
in your crafty projects...weather it is cards, scrapbook layouts,
altered art...etc. The Die~Namites Dies can go a long way...
Thanks for stopping by today,
Big Hugs
