Sanded Two-Tone Technique

Welcome to the May TOTALLY TECHNIQUES BLOG HOP! We are featuring SANDED TWO-TONE TECHNIQUES this month. I chose the ARTISAN SKETCHED GARDEN DESIGNER SERIES PAPER and LAZY DAISY 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER to create this beauty! You’ll find a video tutorial here:

Here’s a close up of the white core peeking through once the layer is embossed and then sanded a little bit:

You know I love a fun fold! This one is a classic. The floral vase images come directly from the DSP. Colored with Stampin’ Blend Markers and fussy cut – they definitely make a spectacular showing on the black SPOTLIGHT ON NATURE die. The first one features Flirty Flamingo Two-Tone Cardstock and the second card features Pool Party Two-Tone Cardstock.

Dimensions:

Lemon Lolly – 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ scored at 1 1/2″ & 4 1/4″, scrap
Extraordinary Life Two-Tone Cardstock – 2 1/2″ x 5″, 2 3/4″ x 5 1/4″, scrap
Artisan Sketched Garden DSP – 2 1/2″ x 5 1/4″, scraps for floral images, 3/4″ x 5″
Basic White – 4″ x 5 1/4″
Basic Black – scrap

My inside sentiment is from Friendly Foliage with the Flirty flamingo pop of color banner from the THREE BANNER PUNCH.

I hope you enjoyed my technique project! Two-Toned Cardstock is definitely something I will be using more often. I love the TWO TONES on each side – such an easy option for layers.

Which color is your favorite – Pool Party or Flirty Flamingo?
