This card was made for Craft Roulette #341 whose parameters were include a two-fold card project, planets colors, beautiful for element and wonky for random. I used The Greetery’s Capsule collection of dies and embossing folders to make this A7 (5×7-inch) card.
Watch the process video to see how I made this card.
Cardbase: Cut an 8.5×11-inch sheet of white cardstock in half. Emboss one piece with The Greetery’s Capsule Basics 3D embossing folder. Trim to 5×7-inches. Using the largest scalloped edged die in the Capsule Basics die set with the Capsule Fixed Borders Large die inside it, cut out a scalloped border, a frame and a center oval from the other half of the white cardstock. Cut two pieces of acetate – one 1×4-inches and one 2×3-inches. Follow the assembly steps shown in the video above.
Rosmal: (Rosmal is a traditional Scandinavian decorative folk art painting.) Using the Rosmal Reflections 3D embossing folder, emboss the white oval frame. From brown cardstock, cut a frame and center oval using the Capsule Fixed Borders Large die. Emboss the brown pieces with the Rosmal Reflections 3D embossing folder. Paint the center piece with shimmer watercolors. Assemble as shown in the video above.
Sentiments: “Joy” was handwritten on the embossed banner on the oval center piece with an ultra fine-tip permanent marker. The inside sentiment and envelope flap sentiments come from PoppyStamps Peaceful Christmas Greetings stamp set.
Envelope: The card fits into an A7 (5x 7-inches) size envelope with its back flap stamped in black ink with “Sending Warm Winter Wishes” from PoppyStamps Peaceful Christmas Greetings stamp set.
