It's so wonderful having all of you to inspire my crafty time even when I'm alone you each take turns 'sitting on my shoulder' saying try this color! why not do this? embossing would be great here!
When I last played with that wonderful new Elegant Peony die set from Alex Syberia Designs, Therese's thoughts on changing up one layering floral die set to make another whispered in my ear... here is that Peony I shared on Monday - the way ASD intended it:
Now look closely... do you see it? A gorgeous Iris! by using just
the last four layers!
Okay, I changed up the leaves from an older Altenew Iris set but I had to make them
white in honor of those I inherited from Tom's grandma.
Now. See that background?
Guess what I did with all the ink I mopped up from that COLORFUL MONDAY
day of inking? Yep, that's it in the background!
It's a trick I learned years ago from Loll and her CAS Mix Up team. When you are
done with the ink, simply mop it up with a baby wipe, or paper towel!
I took mine while wet straight onto a piece of Neenah #110 card, tucked it into this
Spellbinders Leafy 3D embossing folder...
...ran that through my Sizzix Switch and BOOM:
Peel the baby wipe off and let that panel dry. When completely dry it's pretty easy to realign it in that folder if you need to reinforce the pattern.
So, will YOU be looking twice at your own floral layering dies? Did you see that Iris as I did? Watch Therese change up a Magnolia HERE.
I'd love it if you shared your changeup with me!
