Always

Hello my friend!  How is it Thursday already?  This week flew by on me!  I really wanted to try out that impression plate/die technique Erin Lincoln used in the latest Make-It Monday challenge.  Really cool idea and such fun results!  Well, I hate to admit, but it takes this girl a million goof ups to get something right and boy did it take me too long and too many pieces of precious cardstock to get it just right!  Here is what I finally managed to come up with!


Started by running a piece of Pure Poppy cardstock through with the Woodgrain IP along with the Heart prints dies.  The panel was matted to True Black cardstock and then a White card base.


Threaded a few True Black buttons and adhered them with a glue dot.


Lastly, I stamped my sentiment onto White cardstock with Pure Poppy ink, notched the end, and adhered it under the button.

Thank you so much for popping in to see what I made!  I appreciate it!

Lindsay

    Boy do I know what you mean, my first attempt resulted in my card stock being cut completely through! Too much pressure I guess, anyhow plan to try again today. Your card turned out very nice, it really is a cool technique isn't it.

    So glad you stuck with it, because this turned out so fabulous! The black buttons really draw attention to the hearts. I haven't tried this technique yet, but I know it's going to take me many tries to get it right!
