Gorgeously Made with a neat background technique & video tutorial

I shared this card as part of my Tuesday Live video last week.  I was featuring the Gorgeously Made bundle.  Check out the background!

I focused on creating a pretty, textured background under the main image. Here are the steps:

  1. I first stamped the foliage image with Boho Blue ink onto Boho Blue card stock.
  2. Next I textured it with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here. (It's one of my favorite folders.)
  3. Lastly I dragged my White Craft ink pad over the texture. Tip: use a very light touch or ensure your ink pad is a little bit dry. I LOVE the look of this so much!  

EXPOSED BRICK 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER Save

I used the same foliage image for the inside of the card as I did the pretty background, stamping once in full strength Boho Blue ink and stamping again without reinking.

I stamped the other large leafy image from the Gorgeously Made set on the Countryside Corners white die-cut. I added the print image a few times in second generation Boho Blue ink (this means stamped off once). It's layered on a Navy die-cut before adding to the card base.

The greeting is heat embossed on Navy using White embossing powder. The die-cut is from the Stylish Shapes dies – my go-to dies for greetings. 

There's just something special about a monochromatic card; this time in blues.  If you're going for an elegant or cohesive look try using just one color in varying hues.  Greens, blues and browns are some of my favorite choices.

  • Quick & easy card layout to make multiples of; with measurements & free project sheet

    I shared multiple cards using this neat layout on last week’s video. I was inspired by a card I received from my friend & team member Judith.

    Save

    The designer paper is called Autumn Opulence and can be seen here. This specialty pack includes two pages of coordinating printed die-cuts.

    Save

    I think this layout is a great way to use your designer paper. You can get lots from each sheet and make multiple cards quickly.

    The greeting is from the Radiant Sunflowers stamp set.

    Save

    I used Pecan Pie, Cajun Craze and Vanilla for my colors. That textured layer is made with the Softly Woven embossing folder seen here.

    I created a free project sheet for this card; it includes measurements, supplies list and directions. Click here to download or print it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card. I’ll share the other two cards soon.
