Hello, Gaylynn here. Using a partial background and Unity dies gives an artsy look to card making. Today, on the Unity blog, I am sharing a way to trim off some of the card background stamping plus adding Unity sentiment die-cuts.
This art deco style card with a partial background and Unity dies is easily put together with a bit of coloring, fussy cutting and die-cuts.
Sentiment:
Happy retirement.
May these next years be the best years!
Helpful tips:
Here are helpful tips for making this card using a partial background and Unity dies. To begin, stamp and trim the art deco background in black Copic friendly ink. Next, add a little bit of coloring accent to the background, leaving some white space. Then, using scissors, trim away some of the background in a diagonal style to make the partial background layer. Next, stamp, die-cut and trim the sentiment layers. Finally, assemble the card layers and place the sentiments partially over the background, to finish.
Here is another look.
