Here is the tutorial for the card I made yesterday, a modified CASE of card designed by Lynn - LW Designs that was was inspired by a Mojo Monday sketch. Above is an alternate version of the card from yesterday (this one uses the optional white gel pen on the embossed simple flower ).


Supplies:

Optional- Follow the first three steps if you are not using patterned paper from the Parisian Breeze DSP collection for your 5 1/4" X 4" background panel as pictured above at the top of the post.




Sand the Baja Breeze 5 ¼” x 4” cardstock panel lengthwise and crosswise.

Ink the Bella Toile Background Stamp with Whisper White Kraft Ink.
Lay the Baja Breeze 5 ¼” x 4” cardstock panel on top of the Bella Toile Stamp and use a piece of scratch paper over top and rub the stamp with the heels of your palms.

Dry the panel with a heat tool or leave to the side to dry.

Ink the Swirl stamp with Whisper White Craft Ink and Stamp onto the Kraft 2 ¾” square. Heat with heat tool to dry or leave to the side to dry.

Ink the Edges of the Kraft panel with Close to Cocoa Ink

Mount the Kraft panel on Baja Breeze 3” square and Mount that on the Close to Cocoa 3 ¼” square.

Mount the 1”X 2” and 1” X 2 ¼” Parisian Breeze strip on 1 ¼” X 2 and 1 ¼” X 2 ¼” Close to Cocoa strips.

Put a piece of scrap Baja Breeze Cardstock inside the Embosslit.

Run the Embosslit through the Bigshot.

Option A pictured above- Use the flower with the embossed raised side down and color the negative space white with a white gel pen or Option B- use the flower with the raided side up and sand until the raised edge turns white.



Place a half back pearl in the center with a glue dot.

Ink the Butterfly stamp with Baja Breeze Ink. Ink the Stampin’ Around Wheel with Close to Cocoa. Run the Wheel across the inked Butterfly Stamp.

Press the stamp down to the whisper white cardstock.

Cut out the Butterfly leaving a little white space around the edge.

Mount the butterfly on the Square Kraft panel.

Tie the Taffeta ribbon in a bow around the square panel.

Mount the Baja Breeze 5 ¼” X 4” panel on the Close to Cocoa card base. Then mount the Parisian Breeze Strips on the top and bottom of the card base.
