Make It Monday #157: DYI Cover Plates

 

Papertrey Ink Design Team member Betsy Veldman used this week's Make It Monday as a jumping off point for this week's tutorial. She's got tips to share when it comes to using your dies to create the look of our Cover Plate Dies on your next project.

When I first saw Betsy's release card for March showcasing this die as a cover plate I knew I just had to try it. So glad Betsy did a MIM turtoral on this particular technique.

My supplies~ PTI March Journal Die, Wonderful words die, Ribbon Tails stamp set,Canyon Clay PP, Orange Zest, Winter  Wisteria, Royal Velvet, Terracotta Tile, Simply Chartreuse and CS ,Ripe Avocado.

I also used my new Great Gatsby stamp set for the sentiment with MS embossing powder.
