Kathy Schweinfurth YOU ARE HERE
I'm super excited - being on both Design Teams - to share my projects created with the new STAMPlorations Zen Coffee #2 Cover Plate!
For my first card, I used the inlaid die technique. I cut several colors of cardstock with the plate using a dark brown cardstock cut out for the base. I 'colored' in the cut out spaces with the various die cut cardstock colors. Yes, this did take some time, but oh-so-therapeutic for me :) To finish, I cut gold cardstock using the Rise & Grind Phrase Die.
My next card was very easy to create. I made a background using a few distress oxide inks. Then, I cut white cardstock using the Zen Coffee #2 Cover Plate and adhered to the background. To finish, I cut the Coffee Fix Phrase die from dark brown cardstock.

Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteWay to show dual usage of the cover plate -- both turned out amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou are a MASTER with this cutplate! I am so starstruck right now. You are a STAR! Love the way you kept the dark brown pieces together to help you focus on the cup/steam. GENIUS! The other two cards are just as beautiful. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Kathy! I love the inlaid card...the colors are lovely. The watercolor card is so pretty. You have the different shades in just the right places. Both sentiment dies are such fun....going on my wish list!
ReplyDeleteOh Kathy, your projects are simply beautiful!
ReplyDeleteLove these beautiful cards, Kathy! The first one is my favorite!!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to receive this cover plate! I love that you can do the inlaid technique and get something so pretty (without coloring, which I don't do much of). Or, of course, you can color as beautifully as you did on the 2nd card.
ReplyDeleteWOW your cards are so beautiful!! I love the colors on your first card and the inlaid technique is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Tammy
