Shadow stamping cards - Lavinia World Challenge #20

Hello, hello

time for a new challenge over at Lavinia World Challenge  - #20.

Today I have 2 cards made with a technique I saw on one of Jennifer McGuire's tutorials, it is called Spotlight and Masking.

November and December were full of impatient waiting for my stamps to arrive so when I finally received them I started working in advance, just because :))

So, one the projects are these 2 cards I made using the gorgeous Chinese Lantern stamps. I absolutely adore these flowers, both in real life and especially as stamps. 

So, I grabbed my supplies and started working.

1. I cut the card bases from 300gsm white card stock.

2. Cut the base panels: kraft card stock and grey - 260gsm

3. Heat embossed the lanterns with white and golden embossing powder.

4. Using 3 shades of Distress oxides I made the background on the grey panel

5. Using a shape cutting die from my stash, I cut the grey panel in the middle.

6. I assembled the pieces together using double sided foam tape to give an extra pop up effect.

7. The sentiments are die cut with dies from a collection of Romanian sentiments, they mean Success and I love you .

8. Added them to the cards

9. Final touches, liquid pearls - golden and some white dots with the white gel pen.

What do you think?

I found this technique really great and it is definitely worth trying. I will make some more using other stamps, that fit.
