I have a quick card, but with a twist. And not a fun fold type twist. This one is a technique that I have not done in years! And it really adds to the card.
Technique
I saw this technique used on a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Event and I have been playing around with it. If you can see on the card, the dragonflies are made using Embossing Paste. That is not something I use in a regular routine card. But after seeing the demonstration, I had to give it a try. The demonstrator made a template from a die cut. I made my template from punching two of the small dragonflies with the Dragonfly Punch. All you need is Embossing Paste and a spatula. Simply place the negative on your paper and add some Embossing Paste. Mine are far from perfect, but that is okay with me. All you have to do is give them time to dry and you have an added texture and pretty element.
Papers
There are a couple of different papers in this card and it’s difficult to say which adds the most stardom. The card base is Berry Burst which is pulled from the DSP. The DSP is the Masterfully Made Designer Series paper. However, between those two layers is a piece of the Vellum Basics Specialty Paper. There are a couple of different designs on the Vellum in this pack. I chose the leaves to go along with the floral print. Then to give some added emphasis to the tiny sentiment I used a scrap piece of the Vellum along with a piece of the DSP that had been trimmed away. They make a fabulous sentiment layer!
Stamps and Punches
The front of the card has a very tiny sentiment. So not a lot of stamping here. However, when paired with the background I gave it, that is plenty. The simple sentiment is from the Go To Greetings stamp set. And it is punched using the Best Label Punch that debuted with the Alphabest stamp set. I love this little punch. A little punch and a punch that was only used as a template are a bit unusual, but wonderful at the same time. The finishing touch was to scatter some of the Tinsel Gem 4 pack of embellishments.
