If you're at all like me, you have lots of dribs and drabs of patterned paper in your stash left over from past projects. Toss the scraps in the garbage? No way!
This card is an idea for using up some of those scraps. Simple and lovely.
SUPPLIES:
Black cardstock
Light-colored cardstock
Patterned paper
Pearlescent vellum
Black ink
Line work flower stamp
Sentiment stamp
Dimensionals
Gems
Paper Snips
INSTRUCTIONS:
Fold a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of black cardstock in half, creasing it well with a bone folder.
To this card base, add a 4" x 5 1/4" piece of light-colored cardstock. You could also use white cardstock for this layer.
On a scrap piece of leftover patterned paper, stamp in black ink your line-work flower. Fussy cut the flower.
Add the cut flower to a 2 1/2" square of pearlescent vellum.
Add adhesive to the back of the vellum only in the center where the flower is placed. Adhere the vellum layer to a 2 3/4" square piece of black cardstock.
Since the corners of the vellum are not glued down, once it's adhered to the black cardstock, gently use your fingers to curve each of the corners backwards.
Use Dimensionals to add the flower panel to the card front, with even margins at the top and sides.
Using black ink, add a sentiment to the bottom of the card. I love the sentiments that stretch across thee cardstock.
Add a gen to the center of the flower to finish it off.
Fussy
Smiles.
