I saw this technique on Pinterest and watched a couple of You Tube videos. It's a really easy technique! Really Easy!

Here you can see the colors I used. The first thing I did was stamp all the flowers and leaves. I used the stamp set To a Wild Rose. It's a 2 step stamp though it's actually 3 steps to stamp the entire flower. I just used the outline and detail. I didn't stamp the entire background piece.
After each piece was die cut, I took a piece of Whisper White and cut it to 5 1/4 inches by 8 1/2 inches. The video I watched said to draw a line down the center of this piece. I scored it so I wouldn't have pencil on my background piece.
Ultimately I glued up two pieces of cardstock and because of the Split Card technique, I ended up with 4 cards which is what I needed.
We'll be doing this at my next club meeting. I'm actually using these as Thank you cards for my club members! I always mean to make Thank You notes to go with their orders, and then I get busy and forget. This time I'm ready!

Overlapping this center line, using the Tombow Mono Liquid glue, adhere the flowers and leaves in a collage type look. When you have a well-covered piece, use a guillotine cutter (a slide cutter won't work here) to slice the design in half. Cut the "empty" edge so that the card is 4 inches wide.
Here you can see the mounted and finished cards placed together they way I had them glued up. Below it shows them split to make 2 cards.Ultimately I glued up two pieces of cardstock and because of the Split Card technique, I ended up with 4 cards which is what I needed.
