I recently created this Eclipse technique card and had several people ask me how to create this effect. I decided to make a tutorial using a different stamp set and have also shared below a sympathy card I made using the same technique. For the card above I used the last chance list stamp set called Simply Beautiful and added a sentiment from the Sincerely Noted mix and match ephemera pack. A sentiment from the same pack was used on the card below which features the Layers of Beauty stamp set. Both sets are on the last chance list at low prices if you like a bargain and want options for creating this technique.
You can use different colours, stampes and card layouts in terms of portrait or landscape and so the options are varied and numerous. Great way to use matting layers that you may not usually try.
Above I've team white with Secret Sea - my new Old Olive type colour that goes with just about anything - and Darling Duckling which is not always my go to colour as I'm not a fan of mucky yellows, but this one actually works for me.
Below I've used Crumb Cake for the stamping and added a new In Color called Barely Blush and it really is barely pink, but it is just enough for a card like this and for the message it sends.
So have I tempted you to try this technique? Here's my short video of another colour way and stamp for you to find out the how to and tips.
