To be honest, this card did take a little while to make, but I love all of the fun details an I hope you do as well. To play off the polka dots in the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper patterns, I decided to use some Embossing Paste on the Whisper White Cardstock layer to add some extra texture to the card. I also heat embossed the sentiment in Shimmery Black Embossing Powder. I’ve listed all of the details and measurements below.
Card Measurements and Details:
- Poppy Parade Card Base - 5-1/2” x 8-1/2”, scored at 4-1/4”
- Basic Black Cardstock - 5-1/4” x 4”
- Whisper White Cardstock - 5-1/8” x 3-7/8”
- On a piece of scrap paper, place Whisper White Cardstock down and cover the cardstock with the polka dot pattern of the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks. Spread Embossing Paste over the mask using a Pallet Knife to create the textured background. (Tip: try not to add the embossing paste to about 2 inches on the left side of the cardstock, as it will be layered with DSP.)
- Peaceful Poppies DSP - 2-1/4” x 3-7/8”
- Using the Layering Circles Dies, cut a 2-5/8” circle from the polka dot pattern of Peaceful Poppies DSP and then cut a 2-7/8” scalloped circle out of Basic Black Cardstock
- Black Foil - 5” x 1/2”, emboss with Subtle 3D Embossing Folder and trim each end with the Banner Triple Punch. (trimmed piece will measure 4-3/4” x 1/2”)
- Poppy Parade Cardstock - 2” x 2-3/4”
- Whisper White Cardstock - 1-7/8” x 2-5/8”, heat emboss sentiment using Shimmery Black Embossing Powder
- Scraps of Poppy Parade, Grapefruit Grove, Old Olive and Basic Black Cardstock for die cut flower and leaves
- Sponge Poppy Parade Ink around Grapefruit Grove solid floral image to add shading
- Highlight flower and leaves using Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush
- Whisper White Cardstock (inside card) - 5-1/4” x 4”
- Peaceful Poppies DSP (inside card) - 1-1/2” x 4”
Finally, a peek inside the card. I actually stamped the sentiment a little bit crooked, so I popped in a leaf die cut to try to make it less noticeable. It’s always a good idea to stamp BEFORE attaching your DSP, so if you make a mistake, you can flip your cardstock over and give it another go.
