Cards Recipe
These cards are A2/C6 side-fold cards, and I used the same supplies to create two card variations.
- The image and sentiments are from Built-A-Garden: Oxeye Daisy (stamp set, stencils, and dies).
- I used a die from the Picture Frame Die Set to add a decorative frame to the layered card.
For coloring the flowers, I used a mix of the following inks:
- Orange Sorbet, Apricot Frost, and Choco Hazelnut Inks (from the Dessert Dreams Fresh Dye Inks bundle)
- Peachy Keen, Mandarin Burst, and Red Jasper (from the Tropical Tango Fresh Dye Inks bundle)
For the leaves, I used Olive and Moss Inks. For the backgrounds, I used Olive Fresh Ink and Blueberry (from the Marine Life Fresh Dye Round Ink bundle).
For the card above, I used a die from the Picture Frame die set to cut a mask from a scrap piece of cardstock.
- First, I used the mask to stencil a rectangle in the center of the card base using Blueberry Ink.
- Then, I splattered black ink over the stenciled area, keeping the mask in place.
- Next, I stamped the sentiment using Obsidian Pigment Ink.
- Finally, using Instant Dimension Foam Tape – 1/8” x 1/4” x 10m, I adhered the die-cut flower over the center of the stenciled area.
Note: For this card, I chose not to use the 3rd and 4th layers of the stencil that add details to the images. I really like the softer look and feel.
For these cards, I used Lemon Ice, Mild Yellow, Lemonade Stand, and Raw Amber Inks from the Citrus Punch Fresh Dye Inks Bundle.
To add some accents, I applied Red Jasper Ink over the third layer of the stencil.
For the leaves, I used Lemon Ice Ink and then mixed Mild Yellow and Ride the Waves inks to create a darker green shade.
That's all for today
Thanks for stopping by.
