The leaves were added in Pretty Peacock ink. The stamped panel was then added to the Pretty Peacock layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. Using the same glue I added the layer to the Seaside Spray card front.

I used Flirty Flamingo, Poppy Parade, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather inks The Stamparatus makes it so easy to build up colour by adding multiple layers of ink. When the panel was fully inked, I glued it to the Basic Black panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I wrapped a length of Glittered Organdy Ribbon around the panel, tying it in a knot at the front. The whole panel was then added using the liquid glue to the Poppy Parade card base.

The sentiment from the Beautiful Friendship stamp set was stamped on the small Basic Black layer using Versamark ink. This was then covered with White Embossing Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool. The panel was added on Dimensionals over the ribbon.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A pretty card featuring the Eclipse Technique and made using the Beautiful Friendship stamp set

I used the playful Alphabet dies and my die cutting machine to cut the letters out of the image. Using the same dies I cut the letters out again from a foam adhesive panel and glued the coloured die cut letters to the adhesive letters.

The stamped panel was then glued to the Highland Heather layer using liquid glue.

The backing from the die cut letters was then removed and the letters placed into the negative spaces to complete the image. I then added the ‘holes’ from the letters using the liquid adhesive…………after I had hunted through the waste bin to find them!! I forgot I would need them and threw them away……. This is known as the eclipse technique.

Using the Soft Sea Foam Blends Alcohol Marker I coloured some white seam binding ribbon, wrapped it around the stamped layer and added it to the Soft Sea Foam card base.

I splattered the card with a Clear Wink of Stella Pen and also used the pen to paint the letters. To complete the card I added a scattering of Gold Glitter Dots. So Pretty. I hope you like it.

Posted on August 4, 2019August 3, 2019 by Mo Rootes
