October's Newsletter Tutorial - Shattered Glass Technique

 

There is only one more day left in September, so naturally, I am working hard to get my October Newsletter out. With each month's free newsletter, comes a free photo tutorial, and this month's tutorial feature's the Shattered Glass technique, which is a spin on the inlaid die cut technique. Take a closer look at the card so you can see what I mean:

• As you can see, I've used the Stitched Stars dies, one of only three that I have that would be suitable for this technique. But I also thought that since I was going for a holiday card, the Stitched Stars Dies would be better than butterflies and sunflowers!
• The technique involves die cutting the shapes in several different cardstocks and specialty papers and saving all the little pieces that come out of the shapes that you've die cut. You insert some of these pieces back into one of the shapes, using a variety of the colours, and then leave a trail of some of the other shapes that look like they've fallen out of the die cut like shattered pieces of stained glass.
• The sentiment is from the Toile Christmas stamp set and die cut with the Christmas Cardinal dies. It is embossed with Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder.

My photo tutorials are step-by-step instructions with photos illustrating each step. They include a list of materials and measurements.
