A pink card today for a change from all the Halloween cards and an appropriate colour as October is Breast Awareness Month. The theme for the Less is More Challenge is a One Layer with the theme Stars. This had me stumped for while, but I decided to go with a card design which is completely inlaid, making it One Layer.
I used a new die I bought with a Swedish House Crafts gift voucher I was lucky enough to win in the Allsorts Challenge a couple of months ago. The die is a Gummiapan die, 'Integrated Rectangles'. I used the die on the white card, which left one big aperture. I backed the aperture with a double sided adhesive sheet, which left the aperture sticky. I used the die again with deep pink card and inlaid the frame into the white card. I chose two pink patterned papers from a Dovecraft paper stack, one has tiny stars, although they look more like dots in the photo. After die cutting the patterned paper, I stamped a sentiment on one of the pieces with a Sizzix stamp using Versafine ' Black Onyx', before l inlaid all the pieces.
I am joining in the following challenges:

What a fun die you’ve won and used here. Love the pink pattern paper of stars and how you used the inlaid diecutting technique to keep it one layer. Thank you for joining us this week at Less is More.

ReplyDeleteWhat a clever graphic design and I love the alternating colors and patterns! Awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove this cool, funky and contemporary design Liz. The decision to completely inlay the pieces really paid off for the OLC but I bet is was fiddly! Super idea to use the starry paper too. Thanks for letting us see this at Less is More xx
ReplyDeleteIt was surprisingly quick and easy, just like doing a jigsaw puzzle, only easier. x
