Eclipse Technique FALL Asters

I must admit I had never heard of this Technique until AFTER the Eclipse and I thought....hmmm these folks are late to the party?   But then I took a closer look and was WOWED!!  I am so happy I purchased the Large Letter Framelits last year.  I am going to get so much JOY, LOVE, HOPE, NOEL, SNOW, HI, BYE, BOY, GIRL and FUN out of this Technique.

Think of some other words and share them with me in the comments.  4 Letters is about the limit to fit across a card.

This is SO SIMPLE......remember the triple layer stamping, very similar, but you do ALL the stamping first.  Then using your magnetic plate to line up your word.  Roll back and forth to make sure your cuts are all the way thru.  Make sure and save and small pieces that need to fill in the O, P, A, B, D etc.

Painted Harvest is PERFECT for this technique.......LOOK!!

I used a Rich Razzle Berry card base and Rich Razzle Berry and Sweet Sugar Plum ink.  Crumb Cake ink in the centers and used the small dots stamp to add texture to the centers.  Stamp the Sweet Sugar Plum first and then the Rich Razleberry,  Stamp an extra Flower and cut out to use as a mask.  The mask allows you to stamp your leaves in Pear Pizzazz and they look like they are coming from behind your flower.  Save this mask in your stamp case and use over and over again.

 Love the shading and muted look of this Stamp Set.  This set was NOT on my list until I saw all the amazing samples!

My Block was an inky mess and some transferred to the card, so I took a sponge with Crumb Cake and grunged it up a bit.  Line up the Framelits on the card front.  A magnetic plate is a must.  This is a bit tricky as there is only 1 Framelit for L.  But no big deal....cut FA  L and then fill in the other L last.  This allows you to space correctly.  I did it the first time....beginners LUCK maybe....oh there is another WORD!!!
Then use dimensionals and POP up the letters.  Add a bit of tombow and glue down the piece from the A.  Some demos are adding another letter in a complimentary color behind the stamped letters for a bit of shadow.  Rich Razzleberry would have been a good choice here, but I kept this simple.
