Let’s Try the Eclipse Technique {AT! Video}

Hello! I have an oldie but goodie technique to share with you today using the Eclipse technique with my simple twist.

I want to take a moment to extend a warm welcome to all my new friends from the Card Maker Success Summit! It was an amazing 4-day event and I can’t wait to do it again. Thank you for attending my class which is how you have joined me here. It brings me joy to know we had the opportunity to create together.

Make a Wish

How adorable is this sweet little girl by Unity Stamp Company? She was drawn by the oh so talented Phyllis Harris and is a character in her book called I See You Wind. I highly recommend her amazing books for your littles.

Eclipse Technique

She needed a fun technique to make her special and one of my favorites is the Eclipse Technique. It is where you layer a die cut image in the middle of your design so a portion of it pops up to create a 3D effect. You can do this with words or shaped dies and it is a fun way to add some dimension to your project.

I decided to simply ink blend each layer so the eclipsed heart pops and frames her face perfectly. The little girl is so beautiful. I didn’t want to distract from her and this simple twist allowed her to shine.

Thank you for joining me today. I sincerely hope that today’s project inspires you. If you create something, feel free to tag me, @dahlhousedesigns, on social media as I would be thrilled to see it! Plus, join us in the Unity Show & Tell Facebook group to share your Unity creations. It is such a fun and loving group of creators.
