I love a slimline card and was happy to see it for this week’s sketch challenge. I used the Seaside Wishes Bundle which has a hybrid embossing folder which cuts and embosses with one pass through the machine.
Here’s the sketch I used. It’s from the weekly Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge. I love doing their sketches.
Tips & Instructions
Pecan Pie Card Base - 7 1/2 x 8 1/2, score at 3 3/4
Basic Beige Layer - 8 1/4 x 3 1/2, stamp the sand image at the top and bottom right side corners multiple times in Pecan Pie Ink.
Use the Hybrid Embossing Folder with the die for the sand dollars in it and place a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 piece of Pecan Pie Cardstock in it. Run it through your die cutting machine using the Specialty Plate for 3D Embossing Folders.
Blend Pecan Pie ink on the 3 sand dollars with a Blending Brush to add some texture.
Stamp the large and small starfish images on Crumb Cake Cardstock in Cajun Craze ink and die cut with the coordinating dies.
Die cut 2 of the detailed sand dollars from Crumb Cake Cardstock.
Arrange and adhere the pieces on the Basic Beige layer.
Basic Beige - 1 1/4 x 2 1/2, stamp sentiment in Pecan Pie ink. Adhere to a piece of Pecan Pie cut to 1 3/8 x 2 5/8. Adhere to the card with Dimensionals.
Add some clear Opal Rounds.
On the inside layer (Basic Beige - 8 1/4 x 3 1/2), stamp sentiment the smaller silver dollar in Pecan Pie ink. Stamp 2 small starfish in Cajun Craze ink. Stamp some sea glass images in Pecan Pie stamping off first to get a lighter shade. Stamp the sand image to fill in.
I love all the texture on this card. The sand dollars almost look real.
