The Monday Technique on Splitcoast Stampers is all about the Fractured Card Technique. Buddy Gerry has been knocking this technique out of the park! I have had this tutorial for a few months but not had the nudge to work on it. Today was the day!! This will be entered in the Shopping Our Stash challenge to color our favorite way.

I used Lynn Dunn’s tutorial for my measurements: https://stamptasticdesigns.com/2023/08/09/fractured-card-technique/

The patterned paper is Hand Penned DSP by Stampin Up, retired. The floral image is from Reverse Confetti, Elegant Florals, also retired as RC closed last year. I colored the image using SU Blends in Mint Macaron and Pale Papaya, also adding Light Pink and Light Yellow Spectrum Noir Tri-blends. Usually alcohol markers is my go-to for coloring. I own a lot of other mediums, but I rarely reach for them first.

The cardstock base and strips are all Mint Macaron from Stampin Up. I cut the 1/4 inch strips with a Pink Fresh Studio strip die; it makes it so easy and all are straight cuts.

I enjoyed this technique. I was able to use scraps for the strips. I was also able to shop my stash, which I really like. The greeting is from a wood block set that rarely sees ink and the speckles are from an old set, again, rarely seeing ink. Thanks for stopping by and seeing this new to me, technique.
