Epic Celebration with the Eclipse Technique

I'm getting ready for my masculine card class, and at the request of a student I am making a card using the Eclipse Technique.

The Epic Celebration stamp set, a SAB stamp, seems perfect for this technique.

On a 3 3/4 by 5" piece of Whisper White card stock, I stamped the large dot stamp from Touches of Texture stamp set using Cherry Cobbler ink.

Then I die cut the word "EPIC" using the large letter framelits.

After adhering this piece to a Cherry Cobbler card base, the letters were reinserted into the negative die cut space using foam tape.  Some Wink of Stella was applied over the letters.  However, it caused the ink to smear somewhat so I would not do that again.

On a separate piece of Whisper White card stock, the images of the guitar, shoes, and headphones were embossed with black embossing powder, coloured with Blendabilites, then fussy cut.  I added these to the card front below the raised "eclipsed" word.  The head phones fit perfectly over the "C".  On top of the "I" I placed a small button.

Supplies Used:
Stamp:  Epic Celebrations, Touches of Texture
Ink:  Cherry Cobbler, Versa Mark, Blendabilities
Papers:  Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White
Accessories:  Large Letters Framelits, Foam Tape, True Gentleman Buttons

You Are Awesome - SUO Challenges #192

This week's challenge with SUO Challenges is to create a project using only one colour.

For this challenge I made a triple layer card using the stamp from the Occasions Catalogue "Epic Celebrations" using the colour Night of Navy.

I used the tutorial with Splitcoaststampers as my guide to make this triple layer card. However, I  did make some adjustments to the measurements of the layers to fit an A2 card.

Layer dimensions:

Whisper White:  4 by 5 1/4"  card base layer

                           Layer 1:  4 1/2 by 3 1/4"

                           Layer 2: 3 1/2 by 2 1/4"

                           Layer 3: 2 1/2 by 1 3/8"

                           Sentiment: 1 5/8 by 5/8"

Night of Navy:  Card Base 4 1/4 by 5 1/2"

                          Mat for layer 1 4 5/8 by 3 5/8"

                          Mat for layer 2  3 3/4 by 2 3/8"

                          Mat for layer 3  2 5/8 by 1 1/4"

                          Mat for sentiment 1 7/8 by 7/8"

After the images were stamped and the layers put together using dimensionals,  the images were coloured with an aqua painter using a Night of Navy marker applied to a stamping block and then shaded using a blender pen.

Clear Wink of Stella was applied to most of the images.

To finish the card I added some retired Urban District Embellishments and a bow made using  Night of Navy Baker's twine.

Supplies Used:

Stamp:  Epic Celebrations

Ink:  Night of Navy ink pad and marker

Papers:  Whisper White, Night of Navy

Accessories:  Stampin' Dimensionals, Night of Navy Baker's Twine, Urban District embellishments, Clear Wink of Stella, Aqua Painter, Blender Pen
