T his beautiful card was created using an old favorite technique with a new twist...easy to do but creates a great look!
Project Recipe
score 8.5" x5.5" Powder Pink cardstock at 4.25" for card base.
adhere Basic Grey panel to Powder Pink base. ---Use Melon Mambo ink to stamp "our thoughts are with you" sentiment from Lasting Lily stamp set on scrap of white c\s then punch out with scalloped oval punch.
Layer stamped sentiment on a scrap of Basic Gray cardstock and punnch out with Story label punch ...this will be attached to cardfront later.
open the dynamic Country Floral embossing fold and use Melon Mambo ink to cover the smooth "debossed" or flat side of the embossing folder...tap lightly to get ink only on the flat surface, ink as if the folder was a stamp, don't "squish and smash" so you avoid getting the color into the indented portions of the folder.
Carefully place the lighter Powder Pink cardstock piece onto the smooth/ flat inky side of the embossing folder, close the folder over the cardstock and run it thru the embossing folder once.( *note: due to the extra thickness of the dynamic embossing folders, use the standard cutting platform and ONLY one acrylic cutting pad.)
Carefully remove light pink cardstock from the embossing folder and voila! the cardstock background will be a darker pink and the "embossed flowers" will still be light pink!
Remove embossed cardstock piece from folder and allow to dry, the background will be dark pink while the debossed
afrer all ink has dried, put Tear 'n tape (Score Tape or Sticky Strip) onto the back side of the white/ silver ribbon and attach attach 2 to 3 inch snippets of ribbon to bottom left and top right corners of the embossed cardstock, use enough ribbon to wrap around the corners and hide the ends underneath,
Attach stamped and layered the sentiment to the front of card with mini dimensionals and adhere the completed cardfront to the gray layer and attach to the folded Petal Pink card base. to
stamp appropriate sympathy sentiment with Melon Mambo ink on white cardstock for inside of card , I used a sympathy related sentiment from Lasting Lily stamp set, stamped on 3.75"x5"white cardstock with Melon Mambo ink that said "for the moments you can't put into words". This was layered on Melon Mambo cardstock (4" x5.25") and finally attached to the inside of the folded grey cardstock piece. Apparently I didn't snap a photo of the inside of card before sending out the card kits so apologies to my club ladies for that...so glad that you have the completed sample to follow, apologies to those who are reading this on the TAMS blog.
error..disregard, this is the end.
