A few days ago, Laura Bassen was featured on the Hero Arts Blog with 2 fabulous cards, and a how-to video. I don’t have the same die she used for her cards (yet), but I did get a 'bee in my bonnet’ to try her technique...so, I pulled out my Lil’ Inkers Border die and got to work:
I die cut the border die in white, then in 4 colors and carefully glued the pieces into the negative space. Once they were adhered, I removed the white piece, so you can just see the pattern along the across of the card. I added the sentiment, twine and flower, and voila...the card was finished!
I was inspired by the colors in this week’s photo inspiration challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More , and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge ‘Anything Goes with Twine or String', so I will be entering this card in both challenges.
