Darnell and Loll organized a Zoom get together for a few of us recently and Loll led us through a new technique of creating a background by printing with die cut shapes.
I went with snowflakes as I really need to work on my Christmas card stash.
We were inspired by the technique shown in this video by Kathy of The Daily Marker.
I die cut three snowflakes, inked them up by spritzing them with water and then smooshing them into various blue distress inks that I'd pressed onto my craft mat. I pressed them onto watercolour paper repeatedly to create the background.
I let the three die cuts dry and then glued them to a second set of the same die cuts to give them more substance and added them to the background.
I stamped a sentiment and trimmed the panel into a square, bordered it with navy cs, and popped it up on a piece of fun foam.
We decided to do a mini blog hop so that you could see what each of us made. Here are the links to the others' cards:
I hope you enjoy seeing what each of us created while zooming together!
