Hi friends! I picked up this Ironworks Background die from WPlus9 a while ago and thought it was time I gave it a whirl.
Today I'm showing off two very different ways to use it. First, a card with no stamping!
I have had this 1canoe2 Twilight pad for a while as well as some of the ephemera from the collection. I picked two prints from the pad, diecutting the navy print and then layering it over the white and gray polka pattern.
I used several ephemera pieces from the collection to finish things off, including the large gold foil sentiment, and I added some stitching on the pieces for some extra texture/dimension.
The secondary sentiment was created using my typewriter (I'm thinking I definitely need a new ribbon). Both that piece and the large sentiment were popped up with foam tape.
Next, a much bolder look at the die. When you turn the die so that the focal point is closer to the bottom of the card, the die reminds me a bit of a stage curtain.
For this technique, I cut the die once from black cardstock and once from red. The black piece was set aside. The red I left intact on my cutting plate, and then used Copics to add some shading to the individual pieces.
Then I added adhesive to my card base, adhered the black die cut/webbing piece, and inlaid the red pieces.
I finished the card off with a bold sentiment from an old Ali Edwards stamp set which was heat embossed in gold.
I really like how different these cards turned out. Would love to know which is your favorite.
