That big panel is open to all sorts of interpretation! I chose to create a stamp-free card using an inked panel and a camouflaged sentiment.
The main panel on my card was made years and years ago and I can't remember how I made it, which is driving me crazy! I'm 99% sure I used Lumiere paint and a credit card to swipe the paint down the panel but I've tried to recreate it and it doesn't work the same. I need to either do some serious googling or raid my mother's old stamping magazines because I think that's where I got the idea from.
Regardless, this panel is so beautiful and shimmery IRL that it stands on its own. I die-cut the Big Hello from the panel and then re-attached it after layering up three layers of black die-cuts. I then adhered the whole panel to a sheet of gold foil paper and then onto a black card base.
Thanks for visiting! The design team have some wonderful cards using this sketch, so head on over and check them out.
