Stephanie Gold is the host for this week's challenge showing us how to combine die-cuts with stamping to add a mix of texture. You can watch her video here: Make It Monday #331: Creating Mixed Background Texture. It's a very simple technique and it does add a little more pizzazz to the card.
I started by die-cutting Cover Plate: Stripes Horizontal in white cardstock, cutting off a little over an inch at the top. Before adhering it to the card base, I masked off the top portion and stamped the pineapple leaves in Green Parakeet and New Leaf inks.
In white cardstock, I die-cut the pineapple, flowers and leaves, stamped them in a variety of colors and arranged them on the card front, placing the pineapple and large flower on foam tape for dimension. I used one of the strips from the Cover Plate and stamped the sentiment in black ink. The sentiment is on fun foam for added dimension.
Confession time.😞 After the card was done, I decided to add more leaves in an open space and even though I masked the top of the Cover Plate die-cut, I made a booboo and ink got on the top of it. Instead of redoing the card, I added the strip of Hawaiian Shores cardstock to cover up the mistake. It does help bring out more of the Hawaiian Shores on the card.

ReplyDeleteWonderful card Lainey! And if you hadn’t said anything about your boo-boo...I never would have noticed anything. The blue strip looks like it was always meant to be (great cover-up). :)
ReplyDeleteLainey, love how you used the pineapple crown to embellish the top of your card. I need to pull out that Stamp set and recreate this one. Great cover up but I never would have known. 😊
ReplyDeleteLainey, I love this tropical theme! Such a pretty card.
