Hello Stampers,
Today it is the Simply Succulents Two For One. That is the correct die-cut one background die and make 2 cards with that die-cut. It is so simple to add the colors with the Blending Brush.
I share this live on Facebook during Create On The Fly last month or so. I have the recording HERE if you miss it or need to re watch it.
Tips for the two for one Simply Succulents
- Die-cut the background succulent on 5½ x 4¼ Shimmery White card stock.
- Place the die-cut card stock onto a card base. This is play as a mask.
- Using 3 different colors inks with the Blending Brush, brush each color randomly. (I have 2 combos below)
- Remove the Die-Cut that we used as a make and Voila you have a colorful card base front. The die-cut mask applies to another card base Boom you have another colorful card.
- This is like the negative and positive.
You will see in the video this is so simple to make two cards with only one die-cut and have a colorful pattern of succulents.
Die-cut on the card front
So simple just adhere the die-cut to a card front and add the elements.
Color Combo #1
This is the combo of the above cards. I did this one just before the video.
The blending colors
It sure looks like the die-cut is on this card but it is the results of the blending brush with ink after we removed the die-cut. So pretty with the succulents pattern.
Color Combo #2
This is the combo that was done in the video. I as the viewers to name their favorite colors and these were the first 3 colors that I saw in the comments. WOW, that turn out great.
Tips For The Clay Pot
- Terracotta Tile for the card stock to die-cut the pot.
- Using Cinnamon Cider Stampin’ Blend had the shadow at the bottom.
- Wet the pot you can use a spritz bottle or painter brush with water.
- While it still wet use a marker and draw the crackle lines. Why when it is wet? While it is wet it will indent in the cardstock and give the true look of a crack on the pot.
- Let dry and use a marker to get the crackle darker.
- All is explained in the video also how I adhere the succulents.
I just love how this looks like I have the die-cut on top of the card but it is no die-cut just the negative.
Inside I use the Old Olive and Highland Heather for the stamp image.
Measurements
- Basic White 8½ x 5½ score at 4¼ OR 11 x 4¼ score at 5½
- shimmery White 5½ x 4¼, scrap for the die-cut for the greeting
- Terracotta Tile for the pot 2 x 2
- Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz, Mossy Meadow scrap for the succulents
