Sympathy card from a kit - embossed resist background, embossed vellum, sequins with brads and a tiny greeting
Needing a couple more sympathy cards! I made this one up from a card kit from my January class. It features an embossed butterfly (SU) background which was created using very neutral and pale scrapbook paper, silver embossing powder and watercolour. It was fun to play with resists again!! I trimmed the background to fit on a green card and created the focal element by layering a turquoise oval (Nestibilities) with a little white butterfly punchie (SU), an embossed vellum oval which was cut just a bit smaller and green and turquoise sequins on the front and tiny silver brads to keep on the layers together. I mounted this large element to my card front using 3D foam tape and then added a cute embellished colour printed greeting. I used scalloped decorative scissors to cut the top edge, added paper piercing with a push pin and then added an embossed line using my score tool. I used double sided tape on the left hand side which adhered to the oval and 3D foam tape to the right hand side which adhered to the card front. Therese
