Hi Playmates!
My satchel is practically bursting at the seams with homework, but there's still plenty of room for a few bottles of hooch, bars of chocolate and packets of crisps ready for After School Club.
I was busy admiring Lesley and Val's cards made using the Eclipse Technique, so, after refreshing my memory by watching Chrissie Stokes's video - I had a go myself. Thanks for the inspiration girls!

| 5.75 x 5.75" square card |
 |
| White snippets die cut for the layers. |
Details:
- Julie Hickey "birthday" die to create the Eclipse technique (see THIS YT VIDEO) - die cut from the image panel once, and from white snippets x3.
- AALL & Create flower stem from stamp set #985 Flower Smudge, stamped in SU Misty Moonlight ink.
- Heffy Doodle stitched square dies (retired) to die cut the panel and mount.
I went on to make a wedding card (here) after I tried out the technique on the birthday card above, but the wedding card got blogged first!
I have published RESULTS from the previous challenge, so please hop over to the SNIPPETS PLAYGROUND to admire the top picks and discover which lucky playmate won the prize.
Have a lovely week.
HAPPY CRAFTING.
Very nice eclipse birthday card!
ReplyDeleteReally pops with that bit of color!
Oh wow, this is an awesome eclipse card, love the stamped design, and colour, and I now need stitched square dies, I nearly cried when I saw “retired”, 😂 oh well, some one must make some. I’ve got small ones but card front size would be fab. Of course I had to go look at the wedding card, (couldn’t remember it 🙄) which is also awesome! Xxx
ReplyDeleteAges since I made one but you've tempted me, works so well with the contrast of colours here.
