Hello stampers and happy Saturday to you. Today I am going to show you how you can change your exploring in color cards with these great dies! Which dies? Why, the Deckled Rectangle dies. They are so vintage looking and not only are they great for this card technique, they are also fantastic for scrapbooking. With the deckled edge, they are reminiscent of a by-gone age. Do you remember old photos and postcards with this deckled edge? Let’s take a look.
Exploring In Color Cards with Deckled Rectangle Dies
To make these fun cards, I first cut the card in half. Then I used the third largest die to cut out the centre of the card front and the second largest die to cut out a piece from the back of the card. Layer these two over top of each other and put on the card front, trim it a little and layer on to your desired card front.
You can use either the bicycle die from Fun on Wheels or an image from Beside Me that has been coloured with In Color blends and then fussy cut with paper snips. Which one is your favourite?
Falling in love with In Colors
Colouring these images with the in color blends that coordinate with the cards has made me really fall in love with them. I used Pebbled Path, Bojo Blue, Wild Wheat, and Copper Clay. The only colours that were not “in colors” were Night of Navy, Mossy Meadow and the Medium and Medium Light blends. Have you been inspired to add these colours to your Blends collection?
