Today’s card is featuring the Citrus Blooms leafy frame die, but in a different configuration. It’s also a card with a vellum base layer…SOOOo fun!
I put together my card base first so it was ready. I cut my vellum to 4-1/4″ by 6-1/2″. Then I scored 1″ down, creased this section, then attached it over the top back of the Smoky Slate 4-1/4″ x 5-1/2″ base layer. Next I adhered a 2″ white circle to the Smoky Slate layer marking the middle and creating a small inside section where the card can be signed.
After die-cutting the frame, I placed it on my Media Grip Mat on my Glass Mat. The die-cut frame held in place really well! So at this point I was able to using my Blending Brushes and add my green inks. The frame stayed in place the entire time. And I was able to just rinse the ink off the Media Grip Mat when I was done.
Next I cut half-way through each side of this frame piece and brought all the corners together in the middle to make more of a cross shape. I adhered each of these “corners” to my vellum card front using sponged on Multipurpose Glue making sure the glue was evenly added across each section of each layer AND making sure everything was level and coming together in the middle of the white circle underneath.
I trimmed off an excess on the sides and then prepared the remaining pieces. I heat embossed two white sentiments onto punched out black circles. And I cut out a bunch of single vellum leaves and tiny purple flowers.
After adhering a few vellum leaves where they would look best, I added my front black sentiment circle with Dimensionals making sure it aligned and covered the white circle showing through from the inside. Then I added my inside black sentiment circle with Seal making sure it aligned and covered the black circle showing through from the front.
Then I used Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Glue Dots and connected several purple flowers and a few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.
As you can see it’s a card with not a lot of space to write, but it definitely is a artsy and eye-catching.
A card made with a vellum base is always intriguing and unique, but can be tricky to assemble. When designing, you have to keep in mind that anything you put on the front may be seen from the inside. AND anything you put on the inside may be seen from the front. So you have to keep the front, the underside of the front, and the inside ALL in mind the whole time.
I hope you were able to gain some creative inspiration from what I shared today. Have a great week!
