Spotlight technique:Background Letters

Today I share with you a technique I have been seeing around

and quite like: Background Letters. I searched for a video

tutorial and here is one of many. I choose this technique as 

spotlight technique for September on the Michael Strong Yahoogroup.

Klick on the picture above to see a video I found

about this tutorial. There are many more.

Here a little more how I made my card with the new

Panda Silhouette stamp by Michael Strong.

I stamped first 2 panda's and coverd those with a post it

note where also panda's where stamped on. Then after stamping 

the 3rd panda and covering that one too, the bamboo stamp

image was stamped with oxide distress ink in peeled paint.

After removing the masks, the card looks like this.

Cutting part of the image and putting a piece of

black paper behing the cut out image.

The sentiment is added again with foam tape.

It is so much fun this technique, so I made another one.

I started the card with stamping the butterflies from

Michael Strong and embossing them in white embossing

poder. Next the word birthday (old stamp SU!) was stamped in black.

To color the panel I used 2 colors of colorburst and water.

After spraying the water it looks like this.

With Tim Holtz alphabet dies, I made the word happy

and taped them with washi tape to the card, so they

wouldn't move when cutting.

Now a black panel behind the colored background and 

adding both to the purple card.

And last the letters happy are being added with foam tape.

Hope you give this technique a try too.

The result is beautiful.

Thanks for looking

and have a creative day!
