Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 5.25 x 10.5, scored and folded at 5.25
Pink Border Layer: 5.25 x 5.25
White Border Layer:5 ⅛ x 5 1/8
Pink Card Face: 4 ⅞ x47/8
Card Face:
- I dusted the card face liberally with anti-static powder, then positioned the stencil and secured both with low-tack tape.
- I pressed my Versamark embossing pad firmly through the openings in the stencil, repeating a couple of times to ensure good coverage.
- After setting the stencil aside, I sprinkled white embossing powder over the wet ink, and set it with my heat gun.
- I used a corner punch to add additional detail to each corner.
Other:
- I used a scrap of white cardstock and a die that cuts tiny, adorable pawprints.
- I looked through my Sentiments binder and selected the “congratulations”.
Assembly
- I glued the pink border layer to the card base, and centered the white border on top of these.
- I added the pink card face (centered carefully), then added the paw prints as shown.
- I put dimensional foam on the back of the sentiment and positioned it in the upper right quadrant of the card face.
Final Thoughts:
I love the white-on-pink-on white- on pink effect achieved here. Fun, without distracting from the design.
Although I pulled out the “congratulations”, this card would work for many other occasions.
