A second post from me today, so please scroll down to see my earlier post. I have continued to multitask, crafting and watching England play football. Phew!.... what a tense game at the end.
I saw the Eclipse card that Val put on her blog today HERE and decided to have another go using this technique. I've only made one Eclipse Card before and that was HERE in 2017, so it was about time I tried it again. Back in 2017 is was often called Hidden Word, Camouflaged Word or Steganography, but the same technique now seems to be called Eclipse. A friend celebrates her birthday this week, so this will be for her.
The patterned paper was from The Range. I used a preloved Happy Birthday die a bought a while ago. There was no packaging, so I'm not sure of the brand. I put tiny foam pads of the back of the die cut to raise it up. I felt the card needs something extra, so I punched out a few flowers for the corners.
I am joining in the following challenges:
Oh, how lovely is your beautiful birthday card!!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty card with the Eclipse technique, I have to try one day! Love the look with that sweet paper!

ReplyDeleteThink I've only made an eclipse a couple of time so maybe between you and Val I've been prompted. This one is really pretty, a lovely fresh feel to it.

I'm sure your friend will love her beautiful card Liz, such pretty paper and I love you added the little flowers. x
ReplyDeleteA fun way to use such a bold die! Hugs, Gerrina
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful paper Liz and this is the perfect technique to let it shine out and the little added blue flowers give it just the right amount of embellishment, and the black pads make the die cut sentiment stand out really well, and I'm sure your friend will absolutely love this. x
ReplyDeleteThat technique produced a gorgeous birthday card! I love those pretty papers.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card Liz.
ReplyDeleteI do love that look, but it's been a long time since I've done it, too. Beautiful patterned paper and your lovely card has inspired me!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever tried that technique, but it looks great!
ReplyDeleteIt looks great, the perfect paper for the technique and so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour Eclipse card is a wonderful revisit to the technique! The patterned paper from The Range complements the preloved Happy Birthday die beautifully, and raising it with foam pads adds a nice dimension. The punched flowers in the corners add a charming finishing touch to make it extra special for your friend's birthday celebration!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous eclipse card Liz. I need to have a go at that again!
