Outlines and solids!

The next pair in my rainbow die cut series are these two using the green to violet range of colours with The Stamp Market Botanical Beauty die.

First the inlays in colour in a white outline with a striped background die.

The diagonal stripe die is from Simon Says Stamp, called Air Vent, but I think it's not longer for sale. But there is a very similar one from Memory Box called Diagonal.

The second uses the coloured outline on a inked embossed background.

Here are my next set from my zoom class examples ... spring colours! Just one end of the rainbow.

This time I used the lovely Botanical Beauty die from The Stamp Market. Such a lovely flow to this leaf.

Ombre Hi

I have had new supplies coming in so fast! I find it helpful to go back to the cards and ideas that made me buy them in the first place.

I so enjoyed Seeka's idea of using one die behind the negative cuts of letter dies. So I pulled out one of my inked card fronts and went from there.

I obviously still had the actual letter dies left over.  I started by distressing them with Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean in an ombre way.  Then I thought they needed some more details, so stamped the SSS Outline Leaves Background and embossed in white.  I coloured the leaves with white pencil which helped them stand out.

I love this Stampin' Up embossing folder - so subtle.
