Can you describe the project? How did you make it?
- I have created my card base and then added a 5 ⅝” of silver cardstock to
the front. - I have sponged pink ink on one side of the embossing folder before
embossing. I trimmed this to 5 ½” x 5 ½” and then added this to the card
front. - I die cut the largest square postage edge die from the Amazing Paper
Grace Square Postage Edge dies out of white cardstock and largest stitched
edge die out of silver cardstock and layered them on the card front. - I have sponged the base dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Eight
Point Star Dies using Distress Oxide inks Kitsch Flamingo and Picked
Raspberry. - I have added the outline dies to the background dies and then added the
decorative dies to create the star pattern. I have then added the ‘quilts’ to the
front of the card. - I stamped the sentiment from the Hugs Sentiment Stamp set in Altenew
Obsidian Pigment ink on white cardstock and then adhered it to the centre of
the card. - I die cut two small stars from the Amazing Paper grace Eight Point Star
dies out of vellum and coloured this with Picked Raspberry ink and layered
this onto a white background. I added the white outline die and then added
these above and below the sentiment. - I handcrafted the flowers using several Amazing Paper Grace floral dies
and adhered them to the card front as shown. - I die cut the butterfly out of vellum, coloured them with Picked Raspberry
ink and Nuvo Mousse – Indian ink and adhered it to the right side of the
sentiment as shown. - I finished by adding pearls around the edge of the ‘quilt’ and on the centre
stars and some satin ribbon bows amongst the flowers.
