I am really excited to see what Alice will be creating this month as she takes us on an adventure of her own design on Saturdays in November on the w&w blog.
Please give Alice a big round of applause to welcome her as she steps onto the stage for her first performance as our November Leading Lady!
For my first project as the Leading Lady, I am sharing my love for texture and dimension.
I love adding textures with tone-on-tone die cuts for backgrounds on my cards. I know this process could take time sometimes, but it's well worth it! =) The background is created using two layers of In a Word: Birthday Tiles Cutaways cutouts. I usually use a negative of the cutouts as a guide when I glue them down.
The sentiment is cut using In a Word: Celebrate Cutaway and colored in rainbow colors with Copic markers.
This is probably one of my most favorite ways to create a clean background and I hope you find it worth trying!
Thanks so much for stopping by! =)
supplies:
cardstock: (white) Papertrey Ink
color medium: Copic markers
accents: sequins
dies: (In a Word: Celebrate Cutaway, In a Word: Brithday Tiles Cutaways) Winnie & Walter
tool: (die-cut machine) Provo Craft

I've used die cuts for a "faux embossed" background, but never stacked for dimension. Love the look of this card, Alice--thanks for the inspiration!
