Simple Eclipse Card

Hi everyone, it's Jen here and I'm back with my second blog post for this month. I've had so much fun with the latest release that I have been frantically making cards all month!

For this card I wanted to pair one of the new eclispe dies with an older but super cute stamp set from a previous release.

Products Used

Inverted Corner Rectangle Eclipse Dies – LDRS Creative

Elegant Sentiment Word Dies – LDRS Creative

Autumn Tails 5x7 Stamps – LDRS Creative

Autumn Tails Coordinating Dies – LDRS Creative

Autumn Tails 5x7 Paper Pack – LDRS Creative

Raven – LDRS Creative

So this card came together so quickly that it would be really easy to mass produce it. I began with a piece of cream cardstock that I cut down, scored and folded into an A2 card base, then set it aside. 

Next I trimmed one of the gorgeous patterned paper from the Autumn Tails Paper Pack down to 5 by 4 inches and adhered it onto the card base. Then I cut the Inverted Corner Rectangle Eclipse Die 4 times from cream card stock and stacked them together with liquid glue. I backed the stacked diecut onto a solid layer cut from the same color cardstock and added it to the centre of my card base. 

For the main image on the card, I stamped an adorable bunny from the Autumn Tails Stamp Set in Raven Ink and colored it in with some alchohol markers> Then cut it out with the co-ordinating die set.

For her cute little outfit, I stamped her again onto some more of the Autumn Tails patterned paper and cut out her dress, then paper pieced it onto the image I'd previously colored. I added a little more detail to the trim, neck scarf and leggings of her clothes with more alcohol markers. Once finished a added her to the bottom left corner of the Inverted Corner Rectangle Eclipse die that I'd already placed on the card front.

To finish off I cut the sentiment "Warmest Wishes" from the Elegant Sentiment Die Set 3 times from cream card stock and once from mirror gold, stacked them together and added them to the card base with more liquid glue. The final touch was a few gold pearls from my stash that I scattered above and below the sentiment.

I just love the simplicity of this card and I think I demonstrated another way to use the fantastic eclipse dies.
