Creating a Plaid Background

,

Hi Everybody,

I always like to get the most from any dies that I already have in my collections and with the special offer that was on Craft Stash of 50% off the Clever Cuts I thought that this was a good time to make my video as another way to use them.  

So for this video I decided to show how I created the Plaid Background and I think it makes a real statement on the card.

For this one I have simply added a text stamp over the top of the ink blending for a really pretty look.

There are other designs in the video and you can play about with colours and the way you lay the stencils down and of course the way you choose to decorate the finished card.

I have chosen different shapes to cut my panels out and the flowers makes them all really special. 

But with darker colours and no flowers they would make excellent masculine cards too.

I have added this to a playlist on YouTube to show you how I created some other backgrounds and they may inspire you to have a go for yourself.

Enjoy the video with your favourite cuppa and maybe a biscuit or three to go with it.

 

Another idea added recently using the same die set from the Clever Cuts Collection was this one and I hope you enjoy this as well.

Two videos for the price of one .....

More tomorrow ...

Hugs xx
