Sunbird Spark Challenge #47

 This month, the Sunbird Spark Challenge is a Sketch Inspiration.

I used the Diamonds Geo Stencils 360° set and inked up Barrel A with Gina K. Designs Medium Orchid ink, and Barrel B with Dark Orchid ink, rotating 45° each turn. I love the way the two stencils make a great design together.

The front panel was layered with black and attached to a white card base.

I stamped the sentiment, from the An Amazing Friend stamp set, in Obsidian Amalgam ink and layered it with a black panel cut with the Cottage Cutz Stitched Square die set. I cut one side of the layer, turned the die around and cut the other side, to make a smaller shape.

March Scor-Pal Project

 

My friend turned 100th last month, so I made her a special Tri-fold card.

Supplies used:

Scor-Pal

Scor-Tape

The Stacker

2 pieces of cardstock, measuring 10" x 7"

gold foil cardstock - 2 pieces measuring 5" x 7"

Gina K. Designs: Lovely Flowers stamp set, stencils and die

                            Birthday Bash Foil-Mates

                            Light Orchid, Dark Orchid, Jelly Bean Green, Grass Green, Light Spruce, 

                                     Medium Spruce ink

Hero Arts Oval infinity dies

VersaMark ink

gold embossing powder

vellum paper

gold foil

Step 1:

On each of your 2 pieces of cardstock, place the 10" side at the top and score at 5".

Step 2:

Stamp your image with VersaMark ink on a piece of vellum paper, and heat emboss with gold embossing powder. Stamp it again on regular cardstock, colour it in and cut it out.

Step 3:

Cut an oval big enough to hold most of your stamped image in both pieces of gold foil cardstock. Make sure that you have the two foil sides on the outside so that the holes will line up on the front of your card.

Step 4:

Line up one of the gold pieces on the right side of one of the scored pieces of cardstock. Trace through the hole and cut out slightly bigger than the traced line. This will make it easier to line everything up.

Step 5:

Tape the vellum paper onto the back of one of the gold foiled panels, lining up the image as you want it to appear. Tape that onto the front of the sheet of cardstock with the oval hole, and tape the other gold foiled panel on the back. You have sandwiched the vellum and the cardstock between the two gold foiled pieces.

Take the other sheet of 10" x 7" cardstock and trim off 1/8" from the right hand side. This will make it easier to fold the completed card. Add Scor-Tape to the inside of the left hand side of the cardstock and attach it to the back of the right hand side of the first sheet. This will give you the shape shown below. Decorate the middle section with your sentiment.

 

Step 6:

Line up the coloured image with the outline on the vellum paper and attach it to the folded right hand side. For this part, I used glue to give me some wiggle room.
