I almost forgot Darnell was having 3 NBUS challenges in a row this month - the second being posted this past Monday. SO glad I realized and got a card done in time!
I did use one of her optional elements in my card design: 1. The first optional theme I used this week is a NBUS Technique called "Hidden Word" or "Camouflaged Word" or, if you want to get technical "Steganography."
My NBUS is this piece of paper from a K and Co Amy Butler paperpad. I've used other papers from this pad - but none of this one. I also used word dies from a thinlit die set - I've used other words from this set but not these.
I die cut the words twice out of Simply Chartreuse card stock and once out of the panel of DP. I glued all three layers together with the DP on the top - then adhered the thick words into the cut out on the DP that I had already adhered to the card . I added a little matboard heart that I colored by inking it with Simply Chartreuse.
Darnell is having surgery today - so the sentiment on this card is going out to her through cyber space - as well as prayers and hugs! Best wishes today Sis!!
Ink: Simply Chartreuse - PTI
Accessories: Dies - Thinking of you - Thinlits/Celebrate, heart die - Tim Holtz.
What a fun technique and cute card!

ReplyDeleteI don't know how you line up the sentiment with the design paper so perfectly?! It's not cut from the design paper, is it?
