Hello and welcome! Today's card is an easy, non-traditional Valentine's Day card, or perhaps an anniversary card.
Paper Rose supplies used: Spring Floral Frame Metal Cutting Die 21054, Nesting Curved Rectangles Metal Cutting Die 25621, All Occasions Sentiments A5 12pc Sentiment Sheets 22339, Nature Stroll 3 Die Cuts 27898, 19499 Clear Crystal Mix and 18942 Gem Flakes Shaker Mix which I think is discontinued. Other supplies: Cosmic Shimmer Colour Cloud inks in Baked Peach, Chic Magenta and Lemon Meringue, acetate.
I started by doing some ink blending on the front of a white A2 sized card using the inks listed above. Any inks that you have would work for this, or even patterned paper.
From an A2 sized card front, I die cut the Curved Rectangle, trying to be sure it was centered on my card. I also die cut the Spring Floral Frame from another card front of the same A2 size. I adhered the Spring Floral Frame behind the Curved Rectangle front piece, using glue, and just lining up the outside edges. I placed double sided adhesive tape all around the curved rectangle opening, removed the backing and then adhered the acetate to the opening. Next, I covered the back of this with two layers of foam tape, following the curved rectangle opening, and being sure to cover the entire back of the card front. Before I removed the backing for the foam tape, I ran an anti-static powder tool around all the edges of the foam tape so the shaker mix wouldn't stick to it.
I added the shaker mix onto the front of the card, removed the backing on the foam tape and adhered it in place to the card front. All that was left was to adhere the die cuts and sentiment in place and then give the card a good shake. : ) Those die cuts really make it easy!
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day.
