Four Feathers, In Class #3 - November 2014

In this final class design, we used the feathers to create a custom stamped background in the matching colour scheme to the previous two projects. In keeping with the 'inlay' technique featured in the session, the Early Espresso circle was die cut and inserted in the same circle die cut from the background.

The 'Label Love' sentiment was inked in Cherry Cobbler, with the outline penned in Early Espresso marker prior to stamping.  We actually stamped and punch cut this from the first Vanilla cardstock bordering piece featured in this design.

We continued the "inlay die cutting" theme with this second class design.  The card features the striped feather we cut from the first project, die cut into the window created with the a die from the Project Life set.  

The sentiment comes from the exclusive hostess set, Bloom with Hope.  To finish, I've scattered some pearls coloured red with Cherry Cobbler blendability markers.

Four Feathers, In Class #1 - November 2014

Participants did a little creative die cutting in this month's class.  This technique is called "inlay die cutting".  What you end up with is essentially a smooth surface.

The colours were inspired by a recent wedding project I completed.  I had several off-cut strips of cardstock and compiled these in a striped pattern to create my own patterned paper.  We then cut the oval from this, followed by the tall feather from the middle.  The leftover tall striped feather was set aside to be used in another of the cards featured in the session.

The stamped feathers, from the Four Feathers set, were stamped in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla, then die cut.  The tall stamped feather was inserted in the frame created in the oval before the smaller feather was cut and layered in place - all the pieces slotted in flat like a puzzle.

The sentiment comes from the Something to Say set.  It was also stamped on an off-cut strip and then shaped into a banner.
