It's been awhile, but today I had time to play with the Global Design Project's Color Challenge.
Then I used that beautiful die cut heart from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits (2019 Occasions Catalog). I heat embossed the sentiment in white on Basic Black cardstock, it really makes it pop! I punched it out with the Classic Label Punch, and added a small bow with some Whisper White Baker's Twine.
I have a very special friend that I am going to send this card to, I hope it brightens their day! It makes me happy just looking at these colors, such a fun challenge!
Tips and Tricks:
- Card Measurements: Thick Whisper White card base 8-1/2 x 5-1/2, scored at 4-1/4, Basic Black layer 4-3/8 x 5-5/8, Whisper White 4 x 5-1/4, Grapefruit Grove, Daffodil Delight, and Lemon Lime Twist 4 x 1-5/8
- Tone on tone stamping is stamping ink onto the same color cardstock, a very easy way to add interest or a background.
- Use Grid Paper to line up strips onto Whisper White layer, adhere top and bottom strip first, then add the middle piece to make sure it is centered.
- The thin border of black makes the card front "pop" and also ties in the black label
- Dimensionals come in 2 sizes-regular and mini. I used the regular to pop up the black panel, and the mini to pop up the embossed sentiment.
- Attach bows with Glue Dots
- The Die Brush is a must-have tool to remove the tiny pieces from these intricate dies.
- Thick Whisper White cardstock is perfect for card bases. I used to only use regular, but it makes such a difference in the sturdiness and overall feel of the card.
