Hello crafters,
Here is a card we made before our Xmas break in our regular craft classes.
It uses Phill’s DL Silhouette Stamps with Distress Oxides to create a stunning scene card. We have also used the Essential Banner and Flag Sentiments.
The Full Card
Stage 1 – cut out all the layers needed as follows:
- Base Card – A5
- Layer 1 – 20.5 x 14.3cm (inked)
- Layer 2 – 20 x 13.8cm (Embossed)
- Layer 3 – 19 x 8.5cm (Image)
- Strip for Banner
Stage 2 – choose 3 or 4 co-ordinating Distress Oxide Inks to create the scene layer. On our sample card we have used Weathered Wood, Stormy Sky, Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feathers.
Starting with the lightest colour at the bottom ink bands of colour across the card ensuring you blend the colours into each other.
TIP – when you have created your bands of colour use the lighter colour below to blend into the darker colour above. Always apply the colour lightly to start with.
Stage 3 – Ink the strip for the banner using the same inks, but work fro the centre out
Stage 4 – Tear a piece of card or paper into peaks randomly to create the mountain template. Place the template over the card and use one of the darker colours to create the mountains. We used the Stormy Sky and a little Ground Espresso for the peaks.
Stage 5 -Choose a DL Silhouette Image and darker Distress Oxide. On our sample card we have used Ground Espresso and then used detail clear embossing powder
Stage 6 -Choose one of the banner stamps and sentiment stamps to create the words. Cut this out and shape slightly and the ends.
Stage 7 – if you wish you can cut the scene layer into 3 or 4 sections as per our sample card.
Stage 8 – assemble the layers and add glitter where you wish
