I created dimension for my die cut by cutting it three times and gluing them together.
The background was done for a SCS challenge (MIX317: Tin Ceilings) - to be inspired by old tin ceilings.
I took a strip of silver duct tape and stuck it to a scrap of cs, then ran it through an embossing folder.
I stamped and heat embossed a vertical sentiment on my front panel, then used a die with three square apertures and layered it over the embossed silver piece to give the impression of three square tiles.
I finished it off with the flower die - I cut it three times and glued them together for more dimension. I went over the flowers and flower buds with glue and added clear glitter to them.
Here's a photo from another angle that captures the "tin tiles" better:
For CAS Mix Up, I have stamping, die cuts, heat embossing, dry embossing, and silver foil.
What a beautiful design and dimension, Susan! I love the dry embossed silver duct tape (how resourceful!) square tiles, echoing the vertical sentiment! The glittery white flower sprig is so pretty!
