Hand Penned Faux Centre Step Card - Ink, Stamp, Share Showcase

Hi Everyone,

I'm hopping today with the Ink, Stamp, Share group and I've made a Faux Centre Step Card. I saw Kelly Acheson make it a while ago on her YouTube channel. I thought I would give it a try and use up some of the Hand-Penned designer series paper that I have as it will soon retire and there will be lots of new goodies to play with. I teamed it with the Shaded Summer stamp set for a pretty thank you card.

Materials

1 piece of mint macaron card stock 4 1/4" x 10", 1 piece 2 3/4" x 8 1/2", 1 piece 1" x 2 1/2"

1 piece of basic white 3/4" x 2 1/4", 1 piece 3 1/4" x 4"

1 piece dsp 2 1/2" x 5 1/4", 1 piece 1 1/4" x 4", 2 pieces 3/4" x 3 1/4", 1 piece 3 1/4" x 4"

Highland Heather ink

Iridescent rhinestones

Piece of Highland Heather 1/2" ribbon

Mini glue dots

Dimensionals

Multipurpose adhesive

Shaded Summer stamp set

Trimmer

Simply Scored

Bone Folder

Instructions

On the long side score the largest piece of mint macaron at 3 1/2", 7" and 8 1/2" and the smaller piece at 3", fold and burnish to make the base and the centre panel (see picture).

Add the small pieces of dsp to the sides and the front piece as seen in the picture. Add the dsp to the centre panel.

Now adhere this centre panel in place centrally on the front and on the back (see picture). Adhere the remaining dsp over the join on the back of the card.

Stamp a sentiment on the small piece of white card in highland heather ink and stamp the leaf image over the top in mint macaron but stamp it off once to make it paler. Adhere this strip to the mint macaron strip, add dimensionals to the back and add to the card front at the side as shown in the picture.

Stamp a sentiment and some leaves on the remaining piece of white card and add to the inside of the card.

Tie a small bow with the ribbon and add to the card front at the side of the sentiment as shown using mini glue dots. Add some of the rhinestones and the card is complete.

I hope that you like my card, please pop over and see what everyone else has made too.
