I made this card using the faux leather technique. I had this last piece left over from some samples I was working with, so I used the Flowering Cactus Bundle to create the card.
Project Recipe
Begin with 8-1/2" x 11" Mossy Meadow cardstock scored at 4-1/4" and folded to create card base.
Add a 5-1/4" x 4" piece of Basic White cardstock to the card base.
Using a 3-3/4" x 3" piece of cardstock cover it with small pieces of masking tape being sure to cover the entire area. Once covered trim the excess off the edges with scissors.
(Hint: if you use a slightly larger piece of cardstock, when you finish coving it with masking tape, you can cut the size down to the 3-3/4" x 3" quicker than trimming it with scissors.)
Cover the entire area with Mossy Meadow ink using brushes. I used make-up brushes, because my SU Blending Brushes were on backorder.
Go back over the entire area with Pear Pizzazz to lighten it up. This makes the Mossy Meadow stand out more along the edges of the tape making it look more like leather.
Cover the entire area with Clear Embossing Powder and set it with a Heat Tool. No need to use Versamark or Heat &Stick Powder. The powder will stick without it.
Use a 2-1/4" x 3-3/4" piece of Designer Series Paper from the Flowering Cactus Product Medley, and attach it to the bottom of the faux leather layer with Multipurpose liquid glue.
Color a piece the Whisper White Faux Linen Ribbon from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack with the Light Highland Heather Stampin' Blend.
Adhere it where the faux leather and the DSP meet. Secure it to the backside with Liquid Glue.
Using the Layering Circles Dies cut out a 2-1/2 circle from Basic White cardstock, and a scalloped circle from Mossy Meadow cardstock.
Stamp the greeting onto the white circle toward the top and layer the two together.
Attach the circles to the card.
Using the Flowering Cactus Dies cut out a variety of images from the DSP in the Flowering Cactus Produce Medley.
Adhere them to the front of the card as desired using Liquid glue and Dimensionals.
Embellish with Metallic Pearls.
Ta-Da!
