Annivesary Card with Cheryl
Hello everyone and welcome back - Cheryl here today for Couture Creations.
I needed to make an anniversary card, but wanted something totally different.
First of all, I pulled out my paperback from the Gentleman's Emporium Collection. I know we look at that range as being only for masculine cards, but it
doesn't have to be, as you will see.
I started off with a pale blue card base, and paper (Do NOT glue it down at this point!) using the leftovers to make the tag. This is the paper sheet from the 6x6 paper pack.
I cut it with most of the pattern cascading downward, and I used this for the tag. Measure across from the right, and then cut if you want to achieve the same result I did.
Next I foiled the greeting (Happy Anniversary) sideways onto the base sheet, getting it as close to the edge as possible. I used Blue-Green foil for this.
NOTE *This design could be used for any occassion with a change of greeting.
Once the foiling was done, I distressed around all the edges, being careful not to get too close and tear into the foiled greeting.
I carefully measured the space I had left for the tag, and allowed a little extra for the die cuts I was about to add. I cut two pieces, one for each side, using the same cardstock as the base. The die I used was the Petit Floral Edge Die - I love this die and use it a lot.
I had only the edges peaking out, which suited for what I wanted. (I didn't have a lot of space left to play with.)
I glued the die cuts to the back of the tag, then added foam tape to give the card some depth.
Last of all I added a flower, which I sponged with some matching ink, and some pearls.
