I am always inspired to recreate the cards presented by SU’s Artisan Team and add my own creative twist! Using the HIS GRACE stamp set evokes the feeling of spring and reverence that is so characteristic of the Easter Season. This card was inspired by the card shown on page 30 of the 2019 Occasions Catalog. Don’t be intimated by the layers; let me show you how easy it is to put this card together!
I have provided the list of everything you will need as well as a VIDEO TUTORIAL:
- STAMPS: His Grace
- FRAMELITS: Cross of Hope, Stitched Shapes and Petals and More
- PAPER: Soft Sea Foam (card base 5.5″x4.25″), Highland Heather (cross cut out), Whisper White (filigree cut out) , Shimmery White (watercolor sentiment) and Floral Romance Specialty or Wood Textures DSP.
- NOTE: Paper dimensional are relative to the large oval, cross and dove..you don’t need a large piece of cardstock.
- INK: Memento, Daffodil Delight and Grapefruit Grove Classic Ink Blends.
- BLENDS: L/D Highland Heather, L/D Granny Apple Green (GAG), Light Crumb Cake.
- ACCESSORIES: Whisper White Flax Ribbon and CLEAR Wink of Stella (WOS)
- TOOLS: Stamparatus, Aqua Painter, SU Paper Snips, Die Brush and BIG SHOT.
- ADHESIVES: Dimensions (large and small), Glue Dots, Snail, Adhesive Sheets.
BASIC TECHNIQUE:
- Stamp HIS GRACE image on DSP using the Stamparatus with Memento Black ink and color with BLENDS.
- Using paper snips cut out a window around the stamped image.
- Use BIG SHOT to cut background filigree using the PETALS AND MORE Thinlets in WW. Use Adhesive sheet on the WW cardstock BEFORE CUTTING. This will ensure proper placement and ease of adhesion during assembly.
- Use Daffodil Delight and Grapefruit Grove inks with the AQUA PAINTER to create the watercolor sunset effect on Shimmery White Card Stock and then cut with largest oval of the Stitched Frames when the card stock is COMPLETELY dry.
- Stamp and fussy cut dove in Memento Black. Color olive branch with GAG and dove with WOS.
- Use BIG SHOT to cut out CROSS shape in Highland Heather.
- Use Large Dimensionals to assemble the DSP stamped piece over the filigree pieces that have been adhered in advance. Use the Mini-dimensionals for the dove and cross.
- REFER to VIDEO for how to place the White FLAX ribbon and other HINTS and TIPS.
