Scored and folded my dark green
textured cardstock to create the easel structure. Cut another piece
of gold cardstock (Paper-Garden.ca)
same size as card and adhered to front.
Using my Tim's stampin platform stamped
the acanthus on white cardstock using Versafine Toffee, flipped the
stamp over to have a mirror image and stamped next to the first
stamping overlapping the images slightly then embossed with Queen's
Gold embossing powder.
Die cut the "Merry Christmas"
making sure I kept all the little pieces intact.
Trimmed down and adhered the Acanthus
background to a piece of the dark green cardstock. I put a small
drop of white glue on all the negative pieces and re-glued them in
place to the background.
For the positive part of the die cut,
there are several ways you can create depth - adhering several, 4 or
5 layers of die cut cardstock - time consuming; or cutting miniscule
pieces of 3D foam tape - very finicky; I tried using Fun Foam and
Sookwang on both sides and die cutting, but the die isn't thick
enough to go through all the layers SIGH!!; so I ended up using
Glossy Accents - mine is old a thick... and just putting a thick
layer onto the whole back, setting aside to dry and repeating to get
a thicker coat... then putting a bit of white glue and adhering to
Acanthus background. Adhered to
card front.
