I've made a card using the Simon Says Stamp's Mosaic Star die and Big Day dies ...
I colored an embossed mosaic star with markers...I LOVE that you can be messy and color outside the lines...once it's under a die cut star, the outside-the-lines doesn't show...yay!! OK...the big question...do you see raised embossed or a negative(looks like the opposite side of an embossed die)embossed image??...
It depends on when I look at it. The first time it was embossed, which it IS...but then subsequent times, it LOOKS sunken in. WEIRD!!!! A photo that messes with the mind!! Does it do that with you??? I layered the gray panel a second time underneath for some depth, then adhered the marker colored star under the panel. I added the sentiment die, that I had die cut in white, then masked and colored with black marker and then layered. Here's a close up...
I think it's kind of a handsome card...loved coloring all those little mosaic pieces rather than fill with die cut pieces, which is what I normally do...fun card!! Thanks for visiting me today!!
Hugs!! Lisa
Gorgeous card and amazing technique! Congrats!
ReplyDeleteLooks fabulous, Jo X
ReplyDeleteVery eye catching, Lisa. I really like the colors you chose; they look awesome together. Now you have me confused about the embossing...I can't decide.
ReplyDeleteLove this! To me it looks like the squares are sunken in - but it doesn't make sense - I know I should be seeing them as the "pillow" squares that they are when embossed. Fun eye illusion photo!
ReplyDeleteGreat card - always looking for ideas that can be both male and female!
