I eCut the Garden Vine
card removing the perforations for the fold. Scored the card to
offset the front at 2.75"w. Painted the front panel only using
Distress acrylic daubers "Mowed Lawn" and "Forest Moss". Dried, then
adhered a piece of white Ruche cardstock to the back of the opening.
eCut the word "Celebrate
at 6.5"w and a shadow layer. Inked the top layer with Versafine
"Toffee" and sprinkled with 3 colors of embossing powder, returning
the excess back to the container before sprinkling with the next
powder ("Lettuce", Metallic Finish Green, Queen's Gold") - heat set.
Painted the shadow layer with "Antique Linen" acrylic dauber, when
dry adhered the 2 layers together and then on to the left side of
the card front. Keeping the card closed, trimmed the inside
including the eCut word to 6"w.
Adhered the quilled
elements at the end adding the large white half pearls.
On the inside: Cut
another vine piece to use as a stencil and the same daubers as the
front. It did seep under the stencil a bit, so when dry, I used the
stencil again and an olive colored pencil to outline the design.
Stamped the quotes using
Versafine Black Onyx and clear embossed. Used a Quickie glue pen and
Glitter Ritz micro fine glitter "Dark Gold" for the little butterfly
detail.
eCut an ampersand, inked
with the black and embossed with Black embossing powder and adhered
to card.
Embossed the right side
using Anna Griffin "Rosa" embossing folder and my hard rubber
mallet. Hit the high points with "Tumbled Glass" and my dirty pink
sponge... The pink was way too strong, so used my acrylic dauber
"Picket Fence" and painted over it lightly, dried and hit the high
points again with the blue pad. Much better...
The larger butterfly is a
detail from the Garden Vine set. I serendipitously cut it at a good
size as a butterfly on an embossing folder (Couture Creations
"Serene" from the Serenity collection) using my mallet. Hit the high
points with "Tumbled Glass" and sponged with a dirty green sponge.
Adhered the butterfly
only partially so it would act as a closer for the
front. Added the green rhinestones for the body.
