I die cut the bird and blossoms from an aluminium sheet, with a Tim Holtz Sizzix die. In retrospect, I would not use such an intricate die with a metal sheet, as there were lots if tiny filings which could be dangerous ( especially for my dogs)! I then cut away part of the die cut to make it less busy. I then swiped some stazon ink over the die cut, dried and then swiped versamark and clear embossed. In the video, she stamped images over the metal sheet. I’ll try that next tim, butI do like the effect of adding the black highlights to the die cut. Next I swiped some Distress Oxide accross the card and dried with a heat gun. The sentiment is from Penny Black.
The challenge was trying to get a good photo, but I hope you can see it properly.
Wow this is so eye catching. Love the intricate die cut and hope your dogs where OK? The black hi-lights on the die look great. The pink sets off that stunning die cut beautifully x. I am looking forward to trying this technique x Thanks for sharing this stunning card x
ReplyDeleteSo cool!! Love your swiped, bright, pink background. And using the tin for the die-cut works great. Hopefully no one was harmed in the making of this card! :) Play on words from a TV show! :) The bird and blooms is gorgeous with the black highlights. Great work Jenny!! xx
ReplyDeleteHow creative to do the black ice on a die cut, Jenny! I know how hard it is to capture the shimmery beauty of the black ice with the camera! So pretty on the rich, pink background! Thanks for sharing it with CAS Mix Up!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a pretty die cut Jenny and you have adaped the original black ice technique swiping black ink across the die cut and it really does work well. I love that pink Oxide ink in the background too. x
