Trying a new technique challenge from Group of Seven Cardmakers That is using die cuts to make background textures like embossing. Using the same paper for the die cut as you background is basically how to do it. Check out their blog for a better explanation and video.
I chose white on white. The heart die is from Kokorosa Studios. This is adhered to a red card base.. The sentiment is SU, fussy cut and then backed with red. Gingham ribbon from the stash.
I love the elegance of tone on tone. I'm going in search of my dies to see how else I an use this technique.
The die is a NBUS so I will uplink to mynbus blog

I really like this technique, too. I'll be making Valentines soon, so I need to remember this. Thanks for the inspiration.
