We were both pretty stoked to try out the Split 4 technique of making 4 card panels at once! Cat even had the stamps used in the video we channeled through our friend Marcia. Lucky her! But I had a really perfect set from Altenew: Wildflower Garden which worked their charm perfectly, too.
Since Cat and I were having so much fun, and 'gabbing away' ... we both forgot to take a photo of our completed 8 x 10.5" panel! SO I took a photo of all four of my cards together as the panel would have been!
You get the picture, right? Here are my finished cards:
I'll add sentiments as needed, or save them as a gift set!
Thanks so much, Cat, for a fun day of making isolation so much fun! Thank Vic for saying hello - he seems like such a fun guy - or as you would say 'he's da bomb!'

Just in case, here are the Distress Oxide inks I used:
Wow, they look great! Jo x
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun time you must have had with Cat....And what beautiful cards you've made with the fabulous technique Michele x.
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty and a great idea to pop on sentiments, as and when you need them, as they would be fabulous for many occasions x.....Or a unique and glorious gift set x.
Michele it was such fun! Looking forward to the next one. I have to say I love how you finished the cards with the scraps of color. Brilliant design choice and I am totally gonna use it. I too love you texturizing the panel. That one might be my fave of the four. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh, how lovely! They look great as a gift set and on their own--brilliant!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you too had a great time! Your wispy wildflowers are simply lovely and gave you four marvelous cards!
ReplyDeleteMichele, your cards are beautiful! What a great idea to create 4 cards at once. Love the Altenew set you used as well, it worked perfectly for you for this technique!
ReplyDeleteWell aren't you clever!! I LOVE the look of these fun flowers and now am going to have to try this technique!!! Your cards came out beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThey are so pretty and arty. When I first read your post I thought you meant playing cards ...as in playing cards hearts, clubs etc.....doh x

Gorgeous set of cards, Michele! That set of wildflowers is a fave of mine and you've shown off the possibilities beautifully!
ReplyDeleteI love the loose arty look you created here... Beautiful cards
ReplyDeleteNow I have no excuse for not doing this technique. I have the set you used and I have the watercolor paper...you have inspired me. Your's are so beautiful...hope I can make the grade.
ReplyDeleteThese have turned out so well, that is such a good stamp set for this technique, I am going to have to give it a go sometime. Love the little bits of coloured card peaking out too. You and Cat obviously inspire each other xx
ReplyDeleteFour gorgeous cards at once?!?!? I love the idea....now if I can just put that idea into action......
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! I must check out this technique and give it a try, thanks for the link!
ReplyDeleteSuch beauties you two created with your fun time! The cards are fantastic, and I like that you "went outside the box" and didn't follow the line!
ReplyDeleteLove these! Thanks for the link to the video.
ReplyDeleteOh, I just LOVE this technique! Your cards are absolutely gorgeous, Michele! The perfect floral stamps paired with those awesome DOX inks...you hit it outta the park, my friend!! I'm looking forward to the video :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dainty beautifully colored flowers for your pretty Split-4 cards, Michele. Loved your color combination...TFS all your oxide choices. You make me want to make another set of Split-4 cards, my friend. Stay safe and Creative...Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteP.S. Loved your partial framing with color cardstock..simply beautiful. Hugs...
ReplyDeleteThese flower stamps are perfect for the technique, Michele! Great work. Love all four of your cards. The added pieces of coloured card stock in the background add something special!!
ReplyDeleteHow fun that you got to have a play day with Cat. I can imagine you spent a lot of time laughing and having fun! :) xx
I watched the video but haven't had time to try this technique. Plus I left my wildflowers in Ohio. They do seem like the perfect choice judging by your wonderful cards, Michele.
