Hi, everyone! This card was created for the DTGD18kiagc challenge. Instead of using stamps or dies for the background, I chose a real tree branch from my back yard to imprint onto a piece of white cardstock. Here is how it's done: fold a piece of copy paper in half then unfold it; place a cardstock panel down on one half, then the leaves (flowers, etc.), place another piece of cardstock on top of the leaves, then fold the scratch paper over the bundle. Run it through your die cut machine as you would when embossing with your dies. I tried a geranium flower first but it was so 'juicy' that it made a complete mess. (Note: when picking out your greenery for this technique, don't waste your time on ivy or holly or anything with a waxy coating....you'll get no print at all.) After the imprinted cardstock was dry (it was a bit damp), it was die cut with the ODBD Custom Double Stitched Rectangles Dies, then splattered with some artichoke ink from a wet paintbrush. The sentiment from 'Sentiments Collection' was stamped onto a panel cut with the ODBD Custom Circles and Double Stitched Circles Dies. I was amazed that the artichoke ink (sentiment panel) matched the imprint so perfectly!! Thanks so much for looking! Have a very blessed day!
