Hi! Patti here today with a sparkly card to share!
Purple is my favorite color, so I decided to make a purple card! I used the Cheerful Embossing Folder from the Elegance Collection and the Ivy Decorative Die from the
Secret Treasures Collection.
Ink the top half of the Cheerful Embossing Folder with purple
ink. Note: Make sure to ink the folder really well and to cover it completely.
Trim the excess white cardstock from the edges of the embossed piece.
Next, cover the cardstock with a light shimmery ink.
While the shimmery ink is still wet, apply Ultra Shimmer Embossing Powder and heat to set.
It's hard to see in the photo, but after embossing the cardstock has a really
pretty shimmery look.
Use Double Sided Tape to secure the embossed piece to a card base cut from purple cardstock. The Couture Creations tape
works wonderfully for heavy pieces like this that tend to "curl" at the
edges. The Double Sided Tape keeps the cardstock right in place!
Cut two banners with the Craft Concepts Banners Nesting Dies; the largest banner from purple cardstock and the second largest banner from white cardstock. Outline each banner with a purple marker. Add a handwritten sentiment to the white banner. Adhere the white banner to the purple banner with Double Sided Tape.
For the finishing touches, add a purple flower, three ivy leaves cut with the Ivy Decorative Die and a white bow. Create a similar card with any of the Couture Creations embossing folders. The wide array of patterns are suitable for many occasions!
I hope you liked the card. Thanks so much for visiting!
