Good Morning readers...
It's been another lovely week here, with a little rain but lots of warm and sunny weather. It definately helps to warm the cockles and get in the garden to do some work. The little pond now has a little gnome in residence (thanks to my daughter) so will keep the Froggie company. Haha.
Card wise today, I thought I would share a little card I made a few weeks ago using the Double Detail Jewelled Crown and Sew Pretty 2 dies. I kept it quite simple, just using creams and purples, complete with a little bit of shading and embossing.
Here's your How To...
- cut out your four corners using your Sew Pretty 2 dies, and then cut out the Jewelled Crown from your purple card.
- cut out a matt and layer using purple card cut to 7.25 inches square and cream card cut to 7 inches square. Use the outer edge (verso edge) of the frame to cut out a cream layer for underneath. Dust around the edge of this with Seedless Preserves distress inks.
- Emboss your cream card with an embossing folder and dust over edges with distress inks.
- Glue the base layers of your card together.
- With your frame, choose your sentiment and stamp into your frame onto the background.
- Using your Double Detail stencil to match, apply your mousse into the purple top frame layer. Leave to dry.
- Whilst your mousse is drying, attach your corner dies to the card as shown, crossing over the central sections.
- Glue the edges of your outer frame to the base stamped layer to create a little curve and dimension. Add to your card using 3D foam pads. Glue a bow to the top of the frame.
- Finish your card off with some Nuvo Drops to the Sew Pretty dies and also the frame.
This is a closer look to how the little frame will look when added to your card. You can see it only has a little dimension, but it looks better than being completely flat I think.
On the photo below, you can see the dimension of the Mousse on the card, it adds that finishing touch and a little bit of sparkle, which is what we all need on our cards!
I hope you like today's card. I enjoyed making it, it was something different but came together just as I had imagined.
