Hi Crafty Friends,
Time for a new Cut it Up Challenge and it's one of my favorites ~ Layer it Up.Layering is one crafty technique that I use on almost every one of my projects.
Here's my card using images and a sentiment created using the Spellbinders' Betterpress.It's my newest crafty toy and I'm loving it. I've never used the letterpress process but this new tool really makes it easy.
I began by inking up a Ranger Water Color panel using Distress Inks. I added Archival Burgandy ink to my Betterpress plate to get the leaf images. After using the companion dies to cut out the leaves, I used water and a brush to add splatters and a little color release. Using the water color paper allows the Betterpress to give a deep stamped impression. I also used a Betterpress plate for the sentiment stamping and pressing on gold foil paper. It's been fun experimenting with different papers, inks, and other mediums to create some interesting results.
I hope you'll join in our challenge and show us your Layered Up project.
