Lynn gave us a great challenge today. I've been dying to try this and just have NOT found the time...well I did today. I do not own the Big Shot...so improvised with my cuttlebug. I also do not have the chipboard frames so here is what I did:
I used one of my spellbinder circle dies and cut a circle into 4 pieces of A2 size kraft paper. I taped them together and that is my template blank. If you were going to make a card with a sentiment...you could cut your template blank with 2 holes in it and then use one for the sentiment and one for the main image. The possibilities on this are endless.
Here is my sandwich:
A plate
rubber mat
embossing folder with paper
Kraft template blank
B plate
I used the swirl embossing folder to go with the trees but I think a folder with a closer pattern would probably give more definition to the blank stamping space in the middle.
I dusted off the spectrum stamp pad and used the top 3 colors putting the trunk on the green and it gave me that fallish tree look. Fun, Fast and easy once you figure out how it all goes !
Thanks Lynn for another great technique challenge.
Happy Monday to all.
