Inspired Events Eclipse card (1 of 4).jpg

Inspired Events - TGIF Challenges #TGIFC131, Eclipse Technique

October 27, 2017

The Eclipse look is a very popular card making technique at the moment. I love the look of a little hidden word or element that pops out but may not be immediately noticeable. In the Eclipse technique, a layer of a project is cut with letters or shapes. Those letters or shapes are then mounted above the openings created by the cut out. I find this technique works really well when an all over stamp pattern is created on the base layer.  I used the 'congrats' word from the Sunshine Wishes thinlets to eclipse from the stamped background I created with the flowers from the Inspired Events stamp set. 

Want to see some more AMAZING projects using this fun technique? Check out the TGIF Challenges blog. You will really will be impressed with the projects shown.  Try it out! Give this technique a try and share your creation with us! I can't wait to see what you create. Happy stamping!

Blending Brush fail … but I made this card work in the end. The paper on the Specialty Embossed Cards has a little tooth and I could not get a smooth blend. Enter operation cover it all up. Haha.

This blue and purple winter card uses tidbits from the Calm & Bright kit. I used the negative shape from the fir die cut to create a stencil and layered from there. Blend, stencil, stamp. Colors are Highlander Heather, Cloud Cover, & Lost Lagoon. @global_design_project #gdp525 #stampinup #calmandbright
Masking and stamping! On this card I mask with tape, blend ink, then stamp, then stencil, and stamp again to create a layered scene. It’s so satisfying to remove the masking tape… always a fun reveal. Card created for @global_design_project Stamp set is ‘Keeping Traditions’ Stencil is made from the negative die cut fir shape from the ‘Calm & Bright’ kit. #stampinup #cardmakingreels #cardmaker
