I had an amazing time working with my new Dare 2B Artzy Leaf Background Die. As always, in all honesty I was not quite sure what my plan was when I chose this particular die. BUT as soon as I sat down with my Copics and supplies I came up with a concept.
My goal was to keep the die very clean and make it pop by adding some sort of pattern behind the crisp die cut. I quickly created a background paper with Copic markers, vellum and Colorless Blender.
Next I trimmed the vellum (when it was dry) to fit behind the die cut, I layered the card base, white cardstock background, vellum and die cut. Then cut a leaf out using that portion of the die set, stamped my sentiment from the Be Yourself stamp with my D2BA Ink and colored it up with my Copics. It ended up coming together just like my vision. I will be looking for more die cuts like this one, this card came together so quickly and is so pretty! It is a design you could mass produce extremely quickly as well!
This week you get to see the whole process on a video:
