***I wanted to let you know that there has been an issue with some of my photos not showing up on my posts. I am aware of this and I am looking into why this is happening. I hope to get this issue resolved very soon!
In today's card project I will be using the Pinkfresh Studio Frame Builder Botanical Oval die set to create a sympathy card. I will also be using two different colors of Distress Oxide ink for my ink blending. It's not always easy coming up with ideas for sympathy cards, but I found these dies worked perfect to frame a thoughtful sentiment for my card. Let's get started!!
I start by cutting a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel out of Neenah White Cardstock using my Tim Holtz Guillotine Paper Trimmer. Using my Blender Brushes, I start my ink blending using Antique Linen Oxide Ink and blend around the center of the panel, fading out to white in the center. Next, I use Bundled Sage Oxide Ink and blend around the previous color and out to the edges of the panel. I then go back with each color and blend together. Next, I take my blended panel and place into my MISTI stamp positioner and stamp a sentiment from Heartfelt Greetings using Versafine Clair Nocturn Ink, I stamp the sentiment in the center, over the highlighted area.
I now take my Frame Builder Botanical Oval Dies, along with white cardstock and run through my Big Shot die cut machine, I cut four times. Next, I stack and glue using Liquid Glue.
Next, I lay out my dies onto my stamped panel then glue them down using Liquid Glue. I set an acrylic block on top to hold the die in place while the glue sets, I repeat this process for the other side. I now cut around the dies, leaving me with an oval shape.
For the next step, I take a 3 3/4" x 5" panel of white cardstock and blend Bundled Sage Oxide Ink around the edges and corners, I then add Antique Linen Oxide Ink, blending around and into the previous color. I go back with each color and blend into each other. Next, I use a Scroll Embossing Folder and run my panel through my Big Shot and mount onto a 3 7/8" x 5 1/8" Black Cardstock panel.
I didn't like the way the white die cuts looked against the blended sentiment panel. I decided to take my Bundle Sage Oxide Ink pad and drag it across a panel of white cardstock. After covering the entire panel, I use my Ranger Craft Heat Tool to dry the ink. I then die cut two more Frame Builder Botanical Oval pieces. I now glue them on top of the white ones on my sentiment panel.
I adhere the sentiment panel using Foam Tape, add some Water Droplets and my card is done.
I hope you enjoyed today's card. I am really having fun with these Frame Builder dies and now think, I want a couple of the other ones I don't have!
