Using Meadow Dies For A White Silhouette

May 31, 2021 Leave a Comment

Ok so I don’t really know whether a ‘white silhouette’ is actually a thing. But if not I’ve just invented it. One of the things I love about die cut pieces is the variety of ways that they can be used. While the Meadow Dies are available as part of a discounted bundle with the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set, they’re not designed to cut out the images. I think of them more as complementary products rather than coordinating. That said, I did end up using both parts of the bundle to make today’s project.

QUIET MEADOW COLLAGE

My project began when I decided to create a little collage-style background using the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set. I cut a 2-7/8″ x 4-1/8″ piece of Basic White Card and took out my Soft Suede and Pale Papaya ink pads.

First, using Soft Suede ink I stamped the faded text image towards the bottom of the card. Then after reinking the image I stamped a smaller section towards the top left of the layer.

Next I swapped to the Pale Papaya ink pad and the splatter image and stamped it a number of times around the top left and bottom right corners. This immediately gave the layer a slightly aged look, but I wasn’t keen on the large amount of white space. So I grabbed a Blending Brush and added a random area of Pale Papaya ink over the centre.

Now I really liked the effect I’d created and decided that it would make a quick and easy coordinating feature for my project. So I cut a 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Basic White Card and repeated the stamping and inking in the top left and bottom right corners. Then I did the same on the front of a Basic White Medium Envelope.

I love the soft colour palette and opted for Pale Papaya Card for my card base. After cutting and scoring the card using my Paper Trimmer, I folded it along the scored line and sharpened the crease with a Bone Folder. Then using Multipurpose Liquid Glue (Tombow) I fixed the larger of my stamped layers on the inside.

MEADOW DIES

With the envelope and inside of the card done, I was ready to finish the front.

First I needed a sentiment and I chose “You’re too kind” from the Quiet Meadow Stamp Set. Then using Soft Suede ink I stamped it onto some Basic White Card.

Next, turning to the Meadow Dies, I selected the label shape and used it to cut out the sentiment. The die also added a line of stitching around the sentiment and pretty cut-out details at the ends too.

Finally from another piece of Basic White Card I die-cut the large leafy piece. Initially I’d planned to add some colour to it, but the white silhouette worked well against the collage background so I didn’t bother. Now I was ready to start putting the card together.

First, using liquid glue, I fixed the leafy piece onto the front of my small collage layer. Then I mounted it onto a 3″ x 4-1/4″ layer of Pale Papaya Card, before adding that onto 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″ piece of Soft Suede Card.

Finally, using Stampin’ Dimensionals, I fixed the assembled layers to the front of my card base. Once the sentiment was attached with a few more Stampin’ Dimensionals my project was complete.

It was only afterwards that I realised I’ve used this colour combination before. However, you must admit the new Pale Papaya looks lovely with Soft Suede, and if it works why fight it?
