fresh & fun

I made this card for the tutorial on Splitcoast today.

The card base is a 4 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Purely Pomegranate cardstock.

I sponged the sides and used the corner rounder on the bottom two corners.

Next I added a 2″ x 4 1/4″ piece of black cardstock layered with a 1 3/4″ x 4 1/4″ piece of Apple Cider Designer paper on the lower half of the card base.

For the main image the berry stem from Oh so Lovely three times in Black Stazon on a 2 1/2″ x 3″ piece of  Shimmery White cardstock. I paper pierced the edges and layered it on a 1/4″ bigger piece of basic black cardstock. The next layer is a 3″ x 3 1/2″ piece of Soft Sky cardstock. I stamped it with the background stamp from Oh so Lovely and sponged it’s edges.

To highlight part of the image I stamped the berry stamp again in Black Stazon on a scrap piece of Shimmery White cardstock, punched out the part I wanted to highlight with my 1 1/4″ circle punch and layered it on a 1 3/8″ black cardstock circle.

I colored the punched out image with Soft Sky, Purely Pomegranate and Wild Wasabi classic ink and aqua painter, lined it up over the big stamped panel and taped it down.  Then I added a small Wild Wasabi Photo corner to the left bottom corner and secured it with three Pewter brads.

lI added three Jumbo Pewter Eyelets to the left hand side of the card with help of my Crop-a-dile.

The sentiment is from All Holidays.  I stamped a piece of Soft Sky cardstock first with the background stamp from Oh So Lovely. Next I stamped the sentiment in Black Stazon over that and punched it out with my small oval punch.  A small oval Pewter frame was added over it and fastened with brads. Before adding the right brad, I tied a small piece of Purely Pomegranate double stitched ribbon through the hole on the frame.
