Materials
Card stock: Classic Crest DUPLEX Epic Black – Solar White 120lb Cover wt, Gold Bright FOIL 10 pt Card Stock, DCS Discount 8.5×11 Card Stock: Amaranth Pink, Lessebo Colors Premium Bubble Gum Pink, Astrobright Lunar Blue Discount Card Stock, Pop Tone GRAPE JELLY Discount Card Stock, Lessebo Colors Premium AMETHYST Discount Cardstock, Lessebo Colors Premium SUNFLOWER YELLOW Discount Cardstock, Lessebo Colors HUNTER GREEN 83lb Cardstock, Pop Tone GUM DROP GREEN Discount Card Stock, DCS Discount Card Stock: Canvas Textured Mantis Green Card Stock
Creating a Focal
I am using the Large Die Set of the Month for January, Botanical Atrium, from Spellbinders for my focal.
Start by die cutting the atrium frame out of the Gold Bright FOIL 10 pt Card Stock . Then cut the solid backing piece out of Classic Crest DUPLEX Epic Black – Solar White 120lb Cover wt.
Card Base
My slimline card base measures 4 x 9 inches. Cut a piece of the Classic Crest DUPLEX Epic Black – Solar White 120lb Cover wt to 8 x 9 inches. Score at 4 inches along the 8 inch side and fold.
Cut a piece of DCS Discount Card Stock: Canvas Textured Mantis Green Card Stock to 3 3/4 x 8 3/4 inches.
Die cut two border pieces out of black card stock for the top and bottom of the card. Cut a sentiment and shadow piece out of black and gold.
Narrow gold strips will add a little something extra to the two black border pieces. Cutting a third, wider gold strip will cover the bottom of the embossing.
Completing the Card
To complete the card design adhere the focal piece to the center of the card with foam tape.
The sentiment goes beneath the focal piece. Adding with foam tape gives dimension.

ReplyDeleteGorgeous slimline card! The atrium die cut is spectacular in the gold and backed by black. The bright flower bouquet really pops against it. Thanks for sharing at A Cut Above's March Challenge.
