TLC540, Camouflaging Die Cuts (6-29-2015)

[jdmommy]

The last and fifth Monday in June….. Anne Harmon here with your new challenge, Camouflaging Die Cuts. I found this technique done by Laura Bassen.

Directions using white cardstock:
1. Masking part of your card, sponge on a color or colors, leaving the top white.
2. Place a die where it will cover part of the white and the color(s) and cut. (I used a word) Save this piece.
3. Die cut at least four more of the same die in scraps of white.
4. Glue the cardstock with the cut out to your card.
5. Now glue in the white die cuts, one at a time to make a series of layers in the cut out space, then top it with the original color/white die cut.
5. Embellish in whatever way you want. It sounds complicated, but when you see my easy cards, you’ll get it.

Great challenge, Anne...I'll have to give this a try!!!

[Clownmom]

I guess I'm more of a visual person because I was a bit confused when I read the directions. But, as soon as I saw your card, I knew exactly what you were talking about. Looks like fun. I will definitely play along tomorrow.

Here's mine: Die-Cut Thank You. It is a simple design. I may even have to do a more complicated one when I get home.

[muscrat]

Thanks for all the examples, ladies and for the link! I get it now and will be back later with mine!

[gabalot]

Here is my CAS/TLC card. Fun technique to try, Anne! Hope the video link to Laura's tutorial helps whoever all needs it. Anne did a great job describing it but I'm a hands-on or watch-a-video kinda learner so I thought it might be helpful to others, too.

I will do the "official" masked version of the technique in the future.

[brooksdogdays2003]

Beautiful cards! How do you do this technique if you have just the chipboard piece but not the die? Thanks for the help.
