I have a set of cards I did using the Split Four Technique.
I first saw this technique done on Marcia's blog and I was intrigued.
I looked through my stamps to see what I thought would work for this technique.
This Altenew Wildflower Garden set was sitting in my NBUS box and it seemed to
be a good candidate for this technique.
Once the stamping was done, I cut the piece in quarters and decided how I
wanted to orient them.
Some die cutting, narrow mats, splattering and a bit of embossing and I had
four cards.
I left off the sentiments until I decide what I need to use them for.
This is a great technique for some quick cards.

This split four technique is a wonderful idea Bonnie and love the cornflowers beautifully coloured and two with a pretty butterfly, and then two without. Some spattering and layering onto darker card using a stitched rectangle looks great too. x
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and love the cards you created.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you gave this technique a try Bonnie as your cards turned out absolutely lovely!! I'm not familiar with that Altenew set, but I think I need to go check it out as it worked beautifully for this technique!! Love the addition of the butterflies you added to two of the cards too! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteYou are right, this is the perfect image for the Split 4. I love these sweet wildflowers Bonnie. Gorgeous cards! xx
ReplyDeleteThat technique is so clever and these are 4 great cards, love that tamp and the colours but especially those splatters xx
ReplyDeleteFabulous to get four cards from the one technique Bonnie and what beautiful cards they are x.

These are gorgeous! I love the natural colors on these dainty flowers and the fabulous flower centers!
ReplyDeleteIt's a great technique Bonnie and your stamp selections suit beautifully.... a gorgeous set of four cards... so pretty, hugs Robyn
ReplyDeleteOh, I saw this on Loll's blog and tried it right away...I think I need to be more selective with stamps, I had to do some "filling" in on some of the quarters (*wink) but I did love it and will try it again. Your card is fabulous...and I love that you added butterflies to some of the cards and I LOVE the splatters too! Heart Hugs, Col
ReplyDeleteThey may be quick, but they don't lack for beauty. I've been eyeing this technique and do want to see what I have that I can use for it. I don't have many solid stamps, for shame. Must work on that (more shopping, tsk tsk). Your cards are gorgeous and will be even more so when you add the sentiments.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun technique Bonnie, I love how yours turned out the flower as the focal points on the 4 sections is a stunner. I need to try it with some solid stamps.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous set of cards Bonnie - love the stamp you have used, and how you have made up the four cards
ReplyDeleteStay safe
Blessings

So pretty, Bonnie … and just the set that I have at the ready for my play date on Wednesday! or is it Tuesday? lol
ReplyDeleteYour blooms look just like those pretties I see along the roads here in the Summer. Some say it's Chicory, and that you can eat it?

I Love your Split-4 Stamping pretty flowers stamp set, Bonnie. Adding your butterflies to 2 of the cards and splatters and narrow frames to all the cards fronts made such a pretty set. I am hooked on this awesome technique too because of our talented friend, Marcia:-) I have tried with stencils too, which works great if you have the right stencils:-) TFS your beauty. Love and Hugs..Nancy
ReplyDeleteWhat a great technique and you used it so beautifully all your gorgeous cards. Love them all. The pretty butterflies are a great touch. Love the embossed one colored blue. TFS
ReplyDeleteThis technique is great and your cards are lovely. That Altenew set is so pretty and goes well on these cards. Beautiful butterflies too.
ReplyDeleteLove your quartet of cards, Bonnie!! I'd not heard of this, now I've got to try it - thanks for the inspiration!!
ReplyDeleteYou always come up with some great techniques and these turned out beautifully! I did check her blog because I wasn’t sure about the cut four. Great job on this. Bonnie and thanks so much for the link.
ReplyDeleteSo gorgeous, Bonnie! You've highlighted another fabulous technique for me to try!
ReplyDeleteOf course, you used flowers to inspire me, love it, well all of them, and thanks for playing our CAS Challenge at Krafty Chicks.

Wonderful set of split 4 cards. Beautifully stamped and finished off perfectly with die cuts and splatters. Will need to give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI just posted my card on NBUS (Never Before Used Schtuff!) and wanted to stop in to get a close look at your card. I love the simplicity of all of your cards. You do CAS beautifully! Thanks for sharing. Kathy A at myasperations.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteFour fabulous cards from the split four technique! Wonderful CAS designs and lovely summer colours.
ReplyDeleteYour split 4 cards are so beautiful, Bonnie! Each card has a wonderful design, and I especially love the ones with a gorgeous butterfly! The fine spatters and the yellow Prills are the perfect finishing touches!

Great designs, Bonnie. And this technique is brilliant because it allows you to create 4 beautiful cards in a short time. I love those wildflowers and the colors you used. Butterflies beautifully complement the cards, and a delicate splashing adds lightness.
