Let’s get Started:

Card Base: 4.25 x 11, scored and folded at 5.5

Card Face: 4 x 5.25

Vellum: 7 x 3

Card Face:

• I laid the card face on my Grip Mat, positioned the first layer of the stencil and added red ink across the surface.

• I removed the first stencil and added the second one. After positioning it carefully I added turquoise ink to the open areas.

Other:

• I used anti static powder liberally on the vellum and then put it into my stamp positioner.

• I stamped a couple of times with Versamark clear embossing ink, sprinkled it with silver embossing powder and then set it with my heat gun.

Assembly

• I centered the vellum on the card face (both vertically and horizontally), folded it at the edges and secured it with scotch tape on the back.

• I glued the card face to the card base.

• I added two pale blue bits of bling to each side of the sentiment.

Final Thoughts:

This card has a cool retro vibe that I love.
