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!

Paper trickery! I used 1/4 inch strips of cardstock to create stripes. I cut these into 1/4 inch strips and offset for a checked pattern. I like how this looks like primitive Halloween decor. #heroarts #halloweencard #cardmakingreels #papercrafting
Happy Halloween!  I treated myself to Heroween 13 days of Crafty Treats. I'm a sucker for a good advent calendar, Halloween and super cute dies!

I created these two cat cards from the 13 days advent dies and stamps. Cardstock is all Stampin' Up!
