Hi everyone. I had a play with three new Penny Black dies (from the latest release): Dignified, Refresh (second time posting a card with this fun die!), and Ascending. I made the cards with the same technique, print making with die-cuts (click link for Group of Seven post on this technique). Starting with Dignified (51-821), I cut two of the leafy stems from mixed media paper. I coloured both with Distress Inks: Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn. I misted one lightly with water and pressed the coloured side onto a mixed media panel, making a print with the die-cut. A second panel with print was made for the inside of the card. The second die-cut was added to my front panel over top of the print. I cut the front panel down and added it to a black card stock base. I stamped "Happy Birthday to you" (Super Day (31-044) Penny Black) in black ink. All three cards use sentiments from the same stamp set. Close-up ... * * * * * Next, I followed the same steps with Refresh (51-817). This time I used Distress Inks: Mustard Seed, Saltwater Taffy, and Abandoned Coral. I added two prints to my card front, using just the flower heads. I adhered the die-cut flowers to the front of my card panel over top of the print background. A simple sentiment "Wishing You a lovely day" (Super Day - Penny Black) was stamped in Abandoned Coral distress oxide ink. I used a white Posca pen to add white centers to the flowers. And I used the extra cut and coloured flowers for the inside of the card. :) Close-up ... * * * * * For the third card I used Ascending (51-820), this time I used Distress Inks Salvage Patina and Wilted Violet; then misted with water and flipped it over, pressing it onto a mixed media panel to create a print. I repeated the process to add a second print onto the same card front. I stamped a simple "Have a beautiful Birthday" (Super Day - Penny Black) with Villanous Potion distress oxide ink. Close-up ... I'm sending the cards to the following challenges: IDEAS Challenge - "D" is for Dies / Die-cuts - all three cards!
