Faultline Technique

 I love easy cards that use different techniques. This technique is not new to cardmaking but I haven't done it in a long time. So I decided to resurrect it!

These two samples were made using this technique.

I'm making a set of three of these to give as a gift so I'm demonstrating the third one of this set - Faith, Hope & Love.  These sentiments are from the Unbounded Love stamp set. Watch the demonstration on YouTube or on my Facebook page to see the technique demonstrated.

The supplies used are: 

cardbase 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; front mat 5 1/4" x 4"; DSP 3 7/8" square; 2 pieces (lighter and darker color)        3 7/8" x 2 3/4"; mat for inside 5 1/4" x4" and lighter piece for inside 5" x 3 3/4". You can use whatever embellishment you want. I used either a diecut image on the front of each card that coordinated with the DSP or one that I fussy cut from the DSP. 

I featured the Storybook Moments DSP, using coordinating cardstock for mats. 

 

 

For the card I demonstrated, I used Calypso Coral as my base. The torn papers are Boho Blue (recently retired) and Basic Beige and the 'barely visible' mat is Pecan Pie (recently retired). The inside mat is also Pecan Pie and the lighter piece is Basic Beige.
