This card answers the weekly challenge for Craft Roulette. They have a live card making show most Fridays, and it's a new discovery for me. I like that they challenge you to use what's in your stash, rather than promoting the latest releases.
For this mini slimline card, I used a flower die that I haven't used in quite a while. Card dimensions: 3 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches.
Craft Roulette #151 challenge parameters:
- Project: card for friend(s)
- Element: Starts with F (flower)
- Color: Blue jeans + 2 (blue, purple, white)
- Random: Stacks (stacked die cuts)
I did a little die cutting and ink blending with five distress oxide inks. I cut the flower die multiple times and glued them together to create some dimension. I was using an A2 rectangle set, so I partially die cut the panel, moved the die locking the "stitches" into the already cut portion, then partially die cut again to create a mini slimline layer. If you need to do partial die cutting like this, I suggest die cutting first and inking second. My first panel didn't line up quite right!
I thought I was finished. But when I took the picture below, I decided that the card needed a little something more. So, I added a few clear droplets from Essentials by Ellen.
