The background was watercolored onto smooth bristol, and each little die cut piece was adhered on top with foam tape (in the close-up shot above, you can see underneath the birds to the foam). I kept the sentiment nice and simple, so it wouldn't compete with the rest of the card.
The birds in her dress got me thinking about Escher's Day and Night:
So I went ahead and designed a file for my digital die cutter, and here's the result:
Yes, for the second time in a row I was a rebel and didn't use the colors in the inspiration photo- remember, you can be inspired in any way and matching colors is not necessary :)

ReplyDeleteJaw-dropping gorgeousness. (Excuse me while I wipe the drool off my chin.) Good grief, girl. This is incredible beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYour ideas are so unique and perfectly executed, I love the water colored BG and how u were inspired :)
ReplyDeleteThat die cut file you designed is da bomb! Such a cool optical illusion, I love it!!! Love the watecoloring underneath too, it's graphic and modern, but soft too.
ReplyDeleteThis is STUNNING!! I LOVE how you created your own die cut for this card. The background is so beautiful too. Awesome design.
ReplyDeleteI'm breaking a rule here, but this time I have to say something.

I just didn't know how you have made it... this is beyond amazing, I don't have the right words...
