Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.5 x 8.5, scored and folded at 4.25
Focal Layer: scrap of cardstock approx 4.5 x 3
Card Face: 5.25 x 4
This stencil has three options for ribbon – my first task was to decide which one to use on this card.
Card Face:
- I laid the card face on the grip mat and positioned the stencil.
- I pressed my Versamark embossing powder firmly through the openings, removed the stencil and sprinkled gold embossing powder over the wet ink. I set this with my heat gun.
- I placed the card face in a texturizing embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot.
Other:
- I put the scrap of cardstock into my stamp positioner and stamped the image with Versamark embossing ink.
- I sprinkled this with the same gold embossing powder and set it with my heat gun.
- I used a stitched rectangle die to cut this down to size.
Assembly
- I centered the card face on the card base and then added the focal layer as shown in the picture.
- I added a pearl to the center of the stencilled bow, and a smaller pearl to the bottom of the loops on each side.
- I added a pearl to the center of the flower on the focal layer.
Final Thoughts:
Cream and gold is such a luxe combination: I love it.
I also love the contrast between the textured card face and the oh-so-smooth focal layer.
