FEATURED PRODUCTS - if you love my card & would like to purchase any of the products I've used, I would love for you to shop from my links! I earn a small commission at no cost to you, allowing me to contribute to our finances. I appreciate this gesture more than words can express!
Here are simple instructions on how to create today's card:
- Cut and fold an A2 card base from purple cardstock.
- Ink blend the stencils to white cardstock in Ocean Breeze, Sparkling Rose and Lemon Whip.
- Diecut the panel with the largest stitched rectangle die & mount to the card front.
- Diecut the mandala once from gold pearl cardstock and twice from white cardstock.
- Stack & glue together, then adhere to the front
- Splatter the front with white.
- Diecut the sentiment once from aqua glitter cardstock and twice from white cardstock.
- Diecut the shadow layer from vellum, then stack & adhere.
- Attach the diecut sentiment to the front.
- Foil the toner printed sentiment panel with gold, then trim the secondary sentiment into a thin strip.
- Attach it below the other sentiment with foam tape.
- Accent with glitter drops to finish.
TIP: If you don't have a laminator, you can use your hot foil system to foil toner sheets as long as you have the solid hot foil plate. I get amazing results doing it this way!
