Door Card

Hi Bloggers.

I was really disappointed that this card only got shown once during the 2 shows last Friday especially as it took me ages to get the measurements right. Anyway, here it is closed -

and here it is open -

I started by making my 'doors'. I cut 2 x the largest Spellbinders Fancy Postage Edge dies out of Milk Card. At the emboss stage I added the Couture Creations Ambrosia Embossing Folder and inked through the die with Rusty Hinge Distress Ink. I scored each piece along the 8cm line on my Hougie Board and then threaded some London Tan American Seam Binding along the side and then down to meet in the middle.

I cut a piece of Milk Card 15.7cm x 13cm. I stamped the scroll from the Creative Expressions Artsy Floral Stamp Set along the top and the bottom using Rusty Hinge. I popped it through the Grand Calibur with the Couture Creations Chiaro Embossing Folder. I ran it through a second time to extend the pattern and then edged with Rusty Hinge using Cut n Dry Foam. I glued the doors to the back.

I cut a Spellbinders Resplendent Rectangle out of tan card. I cut the next size down out of Milk Card and at the emboss stage added the the Chiaro Folder. I inked through the die with Rusty Hinge. I stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set using Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Dark Bronze Lustre Embossing Powder from the Metallics and Darks Set. I cut it out using Spellbinders Wavy Rectangles and inked through the die with Rusty Hinge.

I stamped one of the flowers from the stamp set 4 times using Perfect Medium and embossed with the Dark Bronze Lustre Powder. I cut them out with scissors and then inked them with Rusty Hinge. I used Rusty Hinge to stamp the little stamp in the centre of each flower and added a 5mm White Pearl.

I assembled the card as shown adding some dots of Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA in Dark Bronze around the edges.

Thanks for stopping by.
