Today's card project was done with a little bit of trial and error. I had an idea in my head, but had to shift gears a couple different times. In the end, I am very happy with the way it turned out! I wanted a soft, subtle look and was finally able to achieve the image I had in my mind. I will be doing just a little bit of ink blending to give a little bit of shading with regular Distress Inks. I am again using the Pinkfresh Studio's Frame Builder Botanical Oval dies. I just love these, they are so versatile and can be used in so many different ways! Today I will be layering tulle in between the dies for a soft, unique look. Let's get started!!
I will be doing all of my work on my Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat. To start, I cut a 4" x 5 1/4" panel out of Apricot Cardstock using my Tim Holtz Guillotine Paper Trimmer. Using my Blender Brushes, I take Tattered Rose Distress Ink and blend around the edges and corners of the panel, fading out toward the center. I decided I wanted more color definition with my blending, so I add Worn Lipstick Distress Ink and blend to just the very edges and corners.
Next, I place the panel into my MISTI Stamp Positioner and choose a sentiment from the Everyday Greetings Stamp Set. I ink and stamp the sentiment onto the center of the panel using Versafine Clair Nocturn ink. I then mount my panel onto a Vanilla Malt Cardstock top folding card base using Double Sided Tape.
I now take one of the dies from my Frame Builder Botanical Oval Die set along with Vanilla Malt Cardstock and run through my Big Shot Die Cut Machine, cutting out a total of six die cuts.
I cut a piece of tulle from my stash big enough to hold the oval frame. Using Liquid Glue, I adhere one of the dies to the tulle. I again add liquid glue and add the second die forming an oval. Once the oval is created, I stack and glue a die on top of each end of the oval. To finish, I secure the tulle by gluing the remaining two dies to the underside of the oval dies, sandwiching the tulle in between. ***To prevent the glue from sticking to the work surface, I suggest using a piece of wax paper if not working on a non stick surface. I then use my Razor Edge Easy Action Shears to trim off the excess tulle around the oval.
Before mounting the oval onto my card, I decided to highlight the sentiment area a bit by blending a little more Tattered Rose Distress Ink around the sentiment and back into the original blending.
I wanted to add a little something to the top area of the oval. Taking a piece of Vellum, I add some Double Sided Adhesive to one side. ***This works great for adhering vellum without having glue show through. I prep the vellum with my Anti Static Powder then choose a flower and small leaf from my Perfectly Perfect Stamp Set and stamp onto the Vellum using Versamark Ink. I then add Detail White Embossing Powder and heat set with my Heat Tool. Taking a piece of Apricot Cardstock, I blend some Tattered Rose Distress Ink with a little bit of Worn Lipstick Distress Ink in the middle. I remove the release paper from the embossed flower and stick it over the top of the blended area. I also blend some Bundled Sage Distress Ink onto the cardstock, remove the release paper from the leaves and stick on top of the blended area. Next, I fussy cut the flower and three leaves using my Razor Edge Easy Action Shears. I then arrange and glue the leaves just behind the flower.
Using Liquid Glue, I adhere my tulle oval frame onto the front of the card. I then add Foam Circles onto the back of the flower and mount onto the top left side of the oval. I use Liquid Glue to add some Ivory Pearls and this finishes off my card.
I hope you enjoyed today's card and learned something new. I like finding new ways to add in products normally not used. This would make a beautiful wedding card by changing the sentiment, I think I will keep this card in mind for just that!
