Splitcoast's TLC Challenge

Hello everyone...it's my turn to host the TLC challenge on Splitcoast this week and boy, have I got an easy one for ya....it's called *Stampin in the die*. All you have to do is stamp your image using a background stamp or any other large background image that will cover the whole die so the unstamped edge under the die creates the frame. ....easy peasy!!!

I used Rubbernecker's Victorian Damask background stamp for both pink layers and the chipboard silhouette from Maya Road was colored with a black marker. The card base and background pink layer were cutout with a large Curved Rectangle Nestabilities and two black scalloped Nestabilities oval layers were used for a little dimension. Black crinkly ribbon and a brad finish it off.

Thanks for visiting!!! Now, pull out those Nesties dies and stamps and come play the Technique Lover's Challenge with us!!

Ooh that's a great idea, Joan, and not one that would have occurred to me, I probably would have stamped the design before diecutting, and so missed out on the unstamped frame.....duh!!! lol. love your card, it looks like a cameo image in the centre of a beautiful background. CoB
