Don’t be afraid to tear your paper. It is a great cardmaking technique. The direction you tear the paper will determine whether you see the core of the cardstock or paper. The lovely white edge helps the two patterns pop against each other. I’ve paired it with some twine and a sentiment for a simple card design.

measurements

  • Thick Basic White Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
  • Bloom Impressions designer series paper (DSP) – 14.35cm X 10 X 2 pieces

My rainbow colours are Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Balmy Blue and Gorgeous Grape. I found they blended easily into each other. What colours would you use?

How to do it! The Blackout but not the Blackout Technique – Layered Florals – Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo – UK

The blackout technique seems to be taking the crafting world by storm. I love the effect but struggle with so much black on a card. I like bright, light and vibrant cards. Therefore I decided to do the technique but not use a black ink pad.

To make this card I dry embossed using the Layered Florals embossing folder. I then used Petunia Pop to create the same effect as a black ink pad. I tried the same technique using a Blueberry Bushel ink pad. What do you think of the results?

As some of you know I design my cards weeks ahead of them going “live” on my blog. I was watching the Chelsea Flower Show and as you may know, my maternal family is from South Africa. The South African stand got a Gold Medal and Best Stand in the Great Pavilion. This was the inspiration behind this card.
