Details:
The color combo is a clean and classic Whisper White and Basic Black.
Measurements are: Thick Whisper White cardstock cut 5 1/2 x 8 1/2″ and lightly scored in the middle, Basic Black 4 x 5 1/4″, Whisper White 3 3/4 x 5, Basic Black 4 x 3 1/2″, Wood Textures Paper 3 3/4 x 3 1/4″.
The sentiment is from the StampinÂ’Up! Lovely Friends stamp set found in the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog, and it is everything! The fonts are fantastic and the size makes it so easy to work with! I heat embossed it in Black so that it would pop.
Heat Embossing Basics: Be sure to use the Embossing Buddy to remove any static from the paper. I used Versamark ink to stamp and basic black embossing powder. Always keep a little paint brush handy to brush away any random flecks. I like to turn my Embossing Gun on and let it heat up for about 10 seconds and then take it to the image to melt the powder. I think it goes faster and has less opportunity for scorching the paper.
I sued the NEW Wood Textures Paper to emboss the sentiment on. I think this is going to be something I reach for often. There are lots of different wood textures in the pack which gives it great versatility. I also like that it comes 6×6 as I think it makes it easier to use.
As I was putting it together I felt like it needed a little “balance”. The addition of a Lace Doily and some Black and Gold Metallic Thread help the card feel complete.
Layers of dimensionals, one in each corner and one in the middle, help to add depth and interest to the card
