Tips, Tricks and Techniques Tuesday 

Today's card is a very plain Black and Red card. 

I used the beautiful images in the stamp set called Power of Hope.

I started off by die cutting a few floral shapes out of a piece of black card to make my next project but instead of that, I gutted the middle of the card and die cuts and replaced them into the mat they had come from. To me it seems to me that I'm looking through a screen to a young woman the other side.

Just by replacing the die cut you get a really lovely effect. 

I used a Real Red card base and a C6 real red mat which was embossed with 

the Hammered Embossing Folder. 

Placing all the layers together with the die cuts, it gave the perfect place for the lady's image to be placed.

Another black and red mat on the inside with the message, Good Luck and a Bonsai tree image and it's complete.
