TLC849 ~ Eclipse Technique ~ {05/31/2021}

[k dunbrook]

Hello everyone and welcome to another TLC Challenge.
Today, we are doing a fun technique called
TLC849- Eclipse Technique

So often when I am finished creating a background, it seems a shame to cover it all up with a sentiment. So by using the Eclipse Technique, you can still see the whole background.
There is a tutorial called Two Tier Eclipse in the Tutorials for those of you that like to see a step by step video.
Two Tier Eclipse Tutorial - Splitcoaststampers

I like to do mine a bit differently by die-cutting the sentiment 3 times on plain white cardstock, gluing those together, then gluing it onto the die-cut piece.
Here are some helpful tips:
1. Be sure and save all the pieces when you die-cut as you will need them to be fitted back into your background piece.
2. Choose a die that doesn't have too many cut away parts...it will be a lot easier when you try and fit them all back into place.

The TLC849 can be found HERE.
The card I created for this challenge is called:
Botan Peony

I'm looking forward to seeing what you create!

Love this technique; thanks for the prompt, Karen! Your peony is gorgeous. I made two cards - the first is using patterned paper to do the heavy lifting: Doxie Birthday

The second one is a little more elegant: Happy Day Bergenia

Thank you for the challenge, Karen. I needed to make a card for a friend and used this to get it done:

Just for You

Here 'tis: jolly. I'd done other eclipse cards with a light bg and dark shadow. This time I tried a dark bg, reclaimed from a Christmas card, and a red shadow.

All the cards posted in this challenge are really amazing and give me inspiration for trying this new (to me) technique soon. Don't have many die cuts but I do have a butterfly which I saw used and a Happy Birthday. Worth a try, what have I got to lose, except maybe some paper and I have plenty of that.
