Today, I’m sharing Easy Background die techniques using the New Lisa Horton Christmas collection. There are many different ways to create with background dies and these are some of my favourite ways. Ad
Visual Supply list below.
The first card uses the Forest die to create a background with Distress Glaze in Peeled Paint and Crushed Olive as well as Microfine glitter. Score tape is added to Hammermill cardstock before die cutting on the tape backing side. The backing from the tree shapes are removed and distress glaze is added to the adhesive before heat embossing. The remaining tape backing is removed and microfine glitter is poured over the background and burnished. The card is finished with gold a heat embossed sentiment using the Snowflake kisses sentiment press plate & die set.
The second card uses the Bauble die to emboss Rainforest cardstock for the background. The die is then used to die cut and then emboss hammermill cardstock. The die cut is then lightly inked with gold ink. This card is also finished off with a Snowflake kisses sentiment.
The third card uses the Wreath Branches die to die cut and emboss Rainforest cardstock before ink blending the edges with Peeled Paint distress ink. A Sentiment is created using the Wreath Sentiments die for the sentiment. Gold ink is used on the background circle before adding the die cut sentiments. Stickles are added to the wreath branches to add texture & sparkle.
