craftykarendesigns: Sending Smiles - Framed Occasions

Hi Everyone,

The theme for Share it on a Sunday is 'Masking', one of my favourite techniques. For this card I have used the lovely flowers from the Framed Occasions stamp set and the words are from the Sending Smiles Bundle and I have used the 2022-2024 In Colours too.

Materials

1 piece of Tahitian tide card stock 5 7/8" x 8 1/4", 1 piece 1 1/4" x 5 5/8"

2 pieces of basic white card 3 7/8" x 5 5/8", 1 piece 1 1/4" x 5 5/8", scrap for the die cut

Instructions

On the long side score the Tahitian Tide card at 4 1/8" and fold and burnish to make the card base.

Secure the strip of white card across one of the large pieces of white card where you want the strip of coloured card to be on the finished card. I've just used a couple of post it notes.

Stamp your design above and below this piece so that the design will shown either side of it on the completed card (see pictures).

When you are happy with the design, carefully take away the strip which should leave a white strip across the stamped image.

Adhere this larger piece to the card front and then add the Tahitian tide strip over the blank area (see picture).

Stamp the word 'Sending' on a scrap of white card and die cut with the shadow die, adhere to the centre of the strip on dimensionals.

Stamp another sentiment on the remaining white card and decorate with some leaves, then adhere to the inside of the card.

I've added some iridescent pearls to the strip and some butterflies in amongst the flowers to finish off my card.

I hope you like it and will give this technique a try. Please pop over and see what Donna and Victoria have made too.
