ColourQ #194





I am just popping in quickly to share a card I made for this week's ColourQ cQc #194.  I've had this idea for a while because I have seen it done elsewhere--I cut a memory box die (Whimsy Circle) out of  True Black, Tempting Turquoise, Calypso Coral and Green Galore, and then pieced the colored parts back into the black outline.  It was a bit more time consuming than I had expected, mostly because that die needs to be run back and forth a few times with a shim in my Big Shot, and then every single bit needs to be poked or picked out. 



Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps:  Pretty Peonies
Paper:  White, True Black, SU:  Tempting Turquoise, Calypso Coral, Green Galore
Ink:  SU Real Red
Other:  Memory Box Whimsy Circle Die


Thanks for Visiting

  8. Joyce your card is amazing and knowing all the work it takes to get those cut and then you made three of them! This has to be one of my favorite cards of yours so far. It is big and it is bold and your sentiment is so small and just perfect in the red!
