CASEing SCS's Featured Stamper for 5-31-15

Thought I'd play along with this week's Featured Stamper over at SCS as well which is to CASE any card design in the gallery of user Veritycards.

My goodness, her work is just exquisite and lush. I don't have a lot of the delicate Spellbinder dies that she has, as most of my dies are of basic shapes for stamped images or sentiments.

In any case, I chose this Fuscia card of her's to CASE for the FS434 Challenge since I had this pre-stamped panel, using various SU markers, leftover from a decade ago lying around.  I merely matted it on some Taken with Teal scraps and propped it on two different die cut panels I had been playing around with a couple of weeks ago.

I was a bit frustrated with the difficulty that the Die Cuts With a View brand of glitter card stock posed with intricate die cutting. It was nearly impossible to pop out all the little pieces even after running it through several times in my Big Shot. I had hoped to have used this die by exposing it more, but thought to finally use it so I could move on to a brand new concept at a later time.



Like VerityCard, I left mine blank without a sentiment as well.  Honestly, I'm a bit at a loss of how to use this Reverse Confetti Mosaic Background die even though I love it so.

Thanks for visiting and thank you VerityCard for the inspiration!

I love this beautiful card with its seaside colors and images! I also love the die cut panel you have used as your back layer! Gorgeous work, Ching! It is a stunning beauty!

I understand your frustration with those intricate dies. Have you by chance tried using it with a couple of dryer sheets or perhaps wax paper? Both methods are available by searching if you need more info. I love the foreground image. Thanks for sharing.

II am typing and cannot see my comment.....I love the image- looks watercolored! I use the bottom of a Chipolte container over the doe and cardstock and it helps cut out all of the intricate pieces : )
