It's now week 12 for the lockdown and we actually went to the bank the other day, Yippee!!!
Still don't go out unless we have to so it made a change.
This is Sue's card for this week.
I created it using a u tube video from Lisa Curio's channel made some time ago. I changed the front and was very pleased with the outcome.
(but I will soon be bring you a metric version, so keep your eye out for it!)
(cb) = card base, (cs) = card stock, (dsp) = designer series paper, (ef) embossing folder, (r) = retired, (ss) = stamp set.
Colours used are: purple posy, soft sea foam, so saffron.
- Start with a (cb) of thick whisper white (cs) 8½ x 5½ scored at 4¼.
- Emboss the front of the (cb) using the subtle (ef)
- Cut 2 pieces of in color 19/21 (dsp) 4 x 4 and 3 x 4 making sure the pattern goes in the same direction.
- Using the 4 x 4 piece of (dsp) make a mark on the left side at 1½ then the bottom at 1¾ and finally the right side at 2¼.
- Cut off from the left side mark down to the bottom mark, now cut from the right mark down to make a point at the bottom.
- Place the right side of the 4 x 4 piece level with the top of the 3 x 4 piece, line up so each side is level, then draw a line around the edge of the 4 x 4 piece onto the 3 x 4 piece, now cut along the line to get the corresponding shape for the bottom.
- Place these pieces onto the (cb) and stamp the sentiments from the ornate thanks (ss) in the gap.
- Using foam adhesive strips adhere the top and bottom pieces of (dsp) to the (cb).
- Stamp the flowers from the last a life time (ss) onto whisper white (cs) using memento ink and colour using stampin' blends.
- Die cut the flowers using the lasting elegance dies.
- For the top sentiment I used the (r) new wonders (ss) and stamped in purple posy, then die cut using the ornate frames dies.
- Adhere this sentiment using liquid glue to the (cb).
- Attach the flowers using dimensional tabs.
- Add some basic rhinestones in between the gap sentiments and jobs done!!!!
