Here’s my card for this week’s Splitcoaststampers Sketch Challenge using the pretty Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper.
When I saw this sketch, I decided to make a quilt style card and the patterns on the paper work well for a quilt. Once I had all the pieces in place, I embossed the entire layer.
Tips & Instructions
Thick Basic White Card Base - 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 4 1/4
Basic White Layer - 5 1/4 x 4
Cut a bunch of 1” squares, look at both sides of the paper to get a good mixture of light and dark patterns. Put adhesive, I used Stampin’ Seal on the entire white layer and start adding the squares starting somewhere in the middle of the layer working your way out. Mix the light and dark as you go. Let them hang over the edge and once the layer is full, trim around the edges.
Tip - use a Silicon Mat when you are putting adhesive on the white layer.
Cut some 1/8” strips of Night of Navy. Adhere them over the seams of the squares. Lay them across all one way and then the other. Trim off the edges.
Emboss the layer using the Countryside Blossoms Embossing Folder. Adhere to the card base.
On a piece of Basic White stamp the border and the sentiment in Night of Navy ink. Punch with the Heartfelt Hexagon Punch and adhere to the card with Dimensionals.
On the inside layer (4 x 5 1/4) add a 3/4” strip of the Designer Series Paper.
Can you see how pretty the embossing looks….looks like a quilt, right?
