Steganography

What? You said what? This word in the title of my post was new to me but it was explained this way. It is the practice of concealing a file, message, image or video within another file, message, image or video. And, that was one technique I had to try. It was very difficult for me as I think I chose a die cut message that was to technically designed and I had to do a lot of inlaying on it. But none the less I did use that in this card and even though it doesn't look the greatest I will show you anyway.

Not only did I used a new die but I also used a new stamp set that I had purchased and never put it to use. So this qualifies for Darnell's NBUS Challenge. The die is a Happy Anniversary one from Tonics  Studio and the stamp set is one from A Jillian Vance Design called Simply Said: Happy Daisy.

First I stamped my design repeatedly with Memento Tuxedo Black onto white card stock and then colored the design with my Copic markers.

Next I took a Memory Box Cross Stitched Frame Border die and made my layer from this stamped pattern paper. I was then ready to die cut the hidden Happy Anniversary verse. Now since this required so much inlaid pieces I decided against doing another layer underneath. It would have involved too much piecing but I still think it works for a hidden design.

Much of South Dakota is getting snow but so far we have not gotten any. Maybe later on tonight.  We might wake up to 2-4 inches they said.

Well, another day gone by again. It seems I mostly only get one card done each day. Always other things to occupy my time. But I guess even so, better to go at a snail pace then rush and not get as good a work.

Thanks for stopping by. I love your comments.

God bless,
