I used the brilliant set from Mama Elephant plus one stamp (status update) from Sn@p and just blue and grey ink. Drawing some feint pencil lines helped get the sentiments all lined up nicely. The 18 was cut with my cameo and then I used pinflair gel to cover the area under the negative die cut and lined up the black sequins in rows (painfully slow but worth the effort for the finished effect)
As I had stamped the sentiments to form a background over the die cut, I'm going to enter it into the stamp your own background challenge at Make My Monday this week http://mimchallegeblog.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/create-your-own-background.html
Brilliant!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a funky cool card, Tara! Love that sparkly 18!
ReplyDeleteAs I read your post my mouth started to drop open as I realised that you had actually stamped that background! It is perfect Tara and must have been quite hard to get it that accurate. The blingy number 18 looks great against it too! Vicky x
