Tips, Tricks and Techniques Tuesday - In My Heart

 For today's card using the In My Heart stamp set, I have gone blue. Afternoon Azure blue to be precise. It is such a vibrant blue, I love it. I added a piece of the blue card to the front of a white card base and then cut off the corners of a sheet of Designer Series Paper. I used the lovely Brights DSP and only 2 pieces of the Afternoon Azure. I place the corners in different directions and adhered them onto the blue card then having cut up several white strips of 0.5cm card, I added them to the edges of the shapes. I believe that this is called a fractured card as it  is in lots of pieces. Though I may well be wrong!!

I measured the centre that was left and found a square die from the Stylish Shapes dies and die cut one out. I then cut it down along one side to make it into a rectangle. It's very easy as you just add the die over the shape and trim off the part you don't need. Once that was done I repeated the same with a piece of white card for the image to be stamped onto. I stamped the little boy reading and then using my Stampin' Blends, coloured him in. I attached them both together using Dimensionals and placed them onto the card base. I then went on to adding some 0.5cm strips of the Azure Afternoon card next to the white strips to complete it.
