Happy Tuesday! It's time again for a new
Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge! Thanks to all who joined in last week's fun! This week Beate is our wonderful hostess and she is challenging us all to create using the
Telescoping Image technique. It's rather quite simple, merely stamp your image of choice two or three times, cutting it smaller each time for a layered look.
NOTE: This will be the last FTTC of 2011, we will
resume, Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012. If you are in need of a visual tutorial, please be sure to see the Flourishes Blog.
Shown below is my sample using the Telescoping Image technique. This card is quite Grand! :) LOL The finished card measures approximately 6.25" x 6.25". This baby will definitely be hand delivered to my sweet sister Tina :)
To create my card, I inked up the larger image from
Flourishes Gerber Daisies set then using various sized Spellbinders circle die templates to cut the image, colored using Copic Markers listed below. For a little added dimension, I paper pieced the very center Daisy and added glitter to each of the centers.
Here's a photo of the various sized increments of die templates and the coordinating image:

Absolutely beautiful! I love the soft blue Gerber Daisies and pretty glittered centers. A real stunner!! :)
Hugs~
Oh dear, Mona, you've done it again! You've created a masterpiece and blown my mind! I love the added sentiment you placed on the curve of the diecut - GENIUS!!! That's a "Now, why didn't I think of that?!?" I do love that popped up center flower too, it adds that extra element of depth :) As Always, I am such a fan, but I'm sure you couldn't tell :)
I always have such a soft spot for Gerberas. Very special. This is one amazing card. Between you and Heather, I have been introduced to something totally new and inspiring. This telescopic technique is so intruiging. I am pleased to see that not all of the flowers on the rear layers have to be colored in. What a goose I am for even thinking so. LOL Still pretty clever knowing what needs doing and what does not. Beautiful!
Absolutely stunning Mona !
Gorgeous and I love the colors on this. Lots of ideas for their flower stamps and they are all amazing!!
Wowwhee! What a beauty of a card! I love the accents of the cute little butterfly and how you've curved the sentiment along the curve of the circle. How beautiful also to have a sister who is a good friend!
Wow!!! This is stunning!! I am lost for words .......
Mona, your card is so pretty...love your coloring and all your details...wow.

Gorgeous card, Mona. I love the colors you chose, your coloring, the paper choices....the sentiment placement. This card looks amazing. The popped up daisy on the smallest layer is really the dot on the i (is that how you say it?) Beautiful!
