Choose a coordinating paper from the Evergreen pack, to go with this Holly & Berry painted mount. Trim the paper to 5 1/2 x 7 1/2". |
|
Position the 3 Oak Slices dies onto this area of the painted mount (to ensure they all fit), then carefully remove the 2 outer dies, secure the centre solid die in place and run through your die machine. |
|
Now die cut the outer die in black cardstock and the middle die from white cardstock, as seen here. |
|
Blend the Frayed Burlap onto the white Oak slice. You don't need to cover it all as your painted mount Oak slice will cover most of it up. |
|
Adhere the 3 die cut Oak slices together. |
|
Adhere the die-cut paper onto the background paper. |
|
Stamp your chosen sentiment in Midnight, to the top right of the painted mount. I chose my sentiment from the Special Wishes Stamp & Die Collection. |
|
Adhere your die-cut Oak slice back in place, ensuring you match up the printed design. This technique is known as the " spotlight" or "eclipse" technique. |
|
Adhere your artwork onto your card blank. |
|
To finish, use your Stickles to add a touch of sparkle where required. |
