CIU 305 - Rainbow Crocus Stems

 Welcome to Cut it Up Challenge 305! 

The theme for this challenge is anything goes! Since this is a die cutting challenge, your project must include a die cut. 

This card has a technique that I haven't done for ages. I started with a piece of dark grey cardstock and embossed it. I added black ink to the embossing folder and ran it through the machine again, adding black ink to the debosssed sections. I then took a dark grey ink pad and inked around the paper, leaving a lighter area in the centre. The crocus pieces were die cut and cut apart so I could ink them in a sort of rainbow colour scheme. I assembled them on the embossed front and added two sentiments. The embossed panel was adhered to a white card front. 

Come and join us at Cut It Up and show us your projects for this challenge. 

You have two weeks to link up your project. 

We can't wait to see what you create!

Enjoy, 

Alyson
