I keep seeing lovely examples of eclipse cards on the wonderweb and really like the effect so here I am having a go.....







just a little bit wonky but not too bad for my first attempts...and yes I definitely will be having another go...

Both are so good. I am thinking that eclipse cards mean the words that are raised up and a bit off edge so we see the colour underneath? If this is your first try, you look like an expert! I love the elegance of the first card with the pretty poinsettias. The second is like a down home Christmas with very traditional warm colours. Now if it wasn’t so hot, I would say one Needs a cosy fireplace:j

Two perfect cards. I haven't tried this technique yet but have seen it done on several blogs. I love your second card as the wording really does blend into the background. almost invisible. Hugs Mrs A.
