Spring Card Class Day 13

This evening I had some fun with today's class lesson. Our instructor today was Cathy Zielske. Her technique was using a word die. I had to adjust a little bit because I didn't have everything that she used.

I used the MFT Smile die to die cut 3 panels. I used the negative panels to make 3 cards and glued the actual die cuts together for the fourth card.

Behind the negative die cut I inked a panel with rainbow colors, all distress oxides: candied apple, wild honey, twisted citron, and salty ocean. Cathy used glitter gel on her rainbow panel. I don't have any of that so I used the glitter embossing powder that I made for a lesson earlier this week. It really gave it a lot of fun glittery shine. Cathy used white card stock for the bases. I did for one of them but used colored card stock for the others. All the inked panels are the same but I turned some of them so the colors ran the other way. I finished the cards by adding some enamel dots.

So I glued 4 die cuts together. (I mistakenly die cut 4 panels and I actually used the fourth die cut to line up the smile die cut on this card. I still have that negative panel to make another card.) The background paper is from Bo Bunny Early Bird Collection. Love this paper. I used MFT More Essential Sentiments to add the secondary sentiment heat embossed on black card stock. I die cut that sentiment with MFT Essential Fishtail Sentiment Strips and then trimmed the ends (as Cathy taught us). Really enjoyed this lesson. 

I am entering these challenges:

• Creative Knockouts: friendship
• Outlawz Festive Friday: anything goes
• Crafter's Cafe: flowers
• A Bit More Time to Craft Extra: anything goes
• Crafty Hazelnut Patterned Paper challenge: use patterned paper

Thanks for stopping by today. Tomorrow we have the twins so there won't be much crafting going on. But hopefully back to it on Saturday. Be safe please!
