Hi there, Stampin' Friends! I've been wanting to try this technique for longer than I can remember. This is my first go at it. I will be using this technique again. It allows you to have a portion of your stamped image outside of your die cut. There are several videos on YouTube if you search 'partial die cutting'.
I stamped the chick with Archival Black ink onto water color paper, colored with reinkers and water color pencils, and then die cut it with the Stitched Shapes framelits using the partial die cutting technique. Using my paper snips, I cut down the sides of the chick's neck so I could slip the Christmas wreath over her head. I cut the scalloped circle with the Layering Circle framelits and attached to the top layer.
Dimension was added to the scallop circle using dimensionals, to the wreath with rolled glue dots, and to the bow using the bone folder to curl the bow and tails.
If you have any questions, please ask.
Blessings ~
