After my early bird post this morning showing a snippet of my triptych project as a guest blogger on the PaperArtsy Blog (not my mistake surprisingly, lol) I decided to blog the card I made yesterday, as an entry to the challenge, in tonight's 7:00 pm slot instead of tomorrow.
I love this theme of Triptychs, there's something very pleasing to the eye about trios and as I need to get in front with my birthday card stash I decided to create a card. I also decided it was time I used some of my hoard of gorgeous PaperArtsy 'Chatsworth' designer papers instead of always creating my own backgrounds so paper piecing/layering was my main technique for this design. It's really simple to do but can be so very effective and although the layers can be left flat I like to add some dimension by using dimensional adhesive.
I selected a couple of co-ordinating paper colours and used Lin Brown's stamp designs from set ELB20. Multiple stamping, cutting out and layering up of the flower created my triptych of blooms and I stamped the tiny leaf image using Versamark Ink and clear embossing powder on the bottom paper layer.
Quite simple but I love the effect! Off to link up to the PaperArtsy Challenge post!
Have a good week all!
Hugs
