Hello everyone! Today I want to share a card with you that I think you will love. I love black and white DSP so when I saw the new True Love DSP in the Jan-June mini catalog, I knew I had to have it!
As I was sitting at my crafting table yesterday I thought of several things I wanted to do with the True Love DSP. I got to work. But after 4 different cards, I was frustrated. Nothing was coming out as I saw in my head. Finally I decided to not go with what was in my head-- just see what happened instead. I ended up really liking the finished product, which I am considering a fun fold!
How To:
Cut a piece of whisper white to be the size of a card base, not folded. So, just 5.5" x 4.25". This panel will be your "base". Cut a piece of DSP the same size and adhere to the white panel. Set aside. Cut your basic black according to the dimensions below and fold in half. Cut your inside whisper white panel and your outside whisper white piece. You also need a scrap of basic back.
On the whisper white panel that will go on the inside, stamp the large flower form the Gorgeous Posies stamp set in Highland Heather. Add the inside of the flower (dots) using memento black. Set this aside. On the small white panel for the outside, stamp the same flower in opposing corners using the same technique as the inside panel. Now stamp the leaves in Old Olive and the veins to the leaves, also in Old Olive. Fill in a bit of the white by stamping some more of the flower (but without the inside dots).
Using the scrap of black, stamp your sentiment in Versamark. I chose to use Happy Birthday! from the new stamp set ______ found in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. Emboss this with White Embossing powder. Trim this piece so that it will fit over the white stamped panel for the front and punch the ends using the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch. Cut a piece of the glittered organdy ribbon to make a zigzag behind the sentiment. Adhere this piece to the white stamped panel with dimensionals.
Adhere the black folded piece to the center of the "base" that you made with DSP. Adhere the inside panel to the inside of the black folded piece and adhere the small white stamped panel to the front the black panel. Your card is complete!
These directions may seem a bit all over the place, so if you would like, you can watch a video here.
