Tone on Tone Die-Cutting by Dawn Woleslagle
Hi friends! Happy Saturday! Please welcome very special guest Dawn Woleslagle, owner of WPlus9, here to provide us some gorgeous floral inspiration! Read on and enjoy!
Hello! I’m excited to be here today to share a couple of cards with you featuring some of the newest Wplus9 products.
I also wanted to highlight a couple of my favorite – and most used – Simon Says Stamp products as well.
I used the new Wplus9 Tossed Florals Background Die to create a subtle tone-on-tone textured background. This intricate die creates a tossed pattern of florals with a lace-like appearance. When used tone-on-tone like this, it gives almost a faux letterpressed look.
I started by die cutting three panels of the floral background. I used one for the background of each card, and the third to cut little floral clusters from and color with Copic Markers.
For both cards, I used the Wplus9 No One Else stamp set for the sentiments stamped in Wplus9 Warm Wool ink onto a circle die cut using the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circles Die.
For the second version, I replaced the stamped “friend” with the Simon Says Stamp Painted Friend Die. By cutting three of these and stacking them one on top of the other, I was able to keep the monochromatic feel and create enough dimension and shadow to make it stand out from the rest of the card.
I embellished each with the floral clusters that I cut and colored from the extra Tossed Florals Background panel.
I hope you enjoyed these projects and are inspired to try it yourself!
