MIM#200 - Layering Cover Plate Die Cuts

Good morning friends.  Playing along with PTI's Make it Monday challenge today, and I'm still on a pink and black kick (see yesterday's post here )!  Dawn McVey shows us how to layer our cover plate dies, and since I only have one cover plate die, my choice was easy!  I really like how it turned out though...take a look:



I simply cut out my chevron cover plate twice with pink & black card stock and layered them onto a white card base.  Love how just that little bit of black peeking out behind the pink  really makes a bold background!  My heart is from the Limitless Layers: Hearts dies, and I stamped with Versamark the small leaves and flower from the Embroidered Blooms stamp set and then embossed them with white embossing powder.  I added the "love" die from the Wet Paint set, and embossed the "you" also with white embossing powder on a scrap of black card stock.  A dyed seam binding ribbon, silver cording, a black enamel dot, and a couple silver dots finished the heart, along with a little bit of silver embossing around the scalloped edges of the heart.  This was one of those cards that came together so easily and just how I pictured it in my head...don't ya just love it when that happens?!! :0)

You can check out Dawn's great video and card, and all the info you need to play along over on Nichole's blog right here .  This is Papertrey Ink's 200th Make it Monday video, so that means almost 4 years of video inspiration every week!  I love Make it Monday's and have learned SO much over the past 2 years that I have been playing along...thank you PTI!!!! :0)

Thanks so much for stopping by today and have a wonderful Wednesday!

Oh Marcia, this is just darling! I love the pink, black and white color theme and that heart with the sweet bow is just over the top, lovely!

That technique looks wonderful in your pink and black! I'm glad you had a cover plate so you could play, I don't have one (yet).

Such a pretty color combo, Marcia! Love the sweet LOVE heart focal point over your chevron BG and all the sequins/dots scattered around..

Joyce said...

Eek! We used the same cover plate--great minds think alike. Love your take. The black with pale pink is so striking, and I just love the heart shaped focal point you made.
