Hello! Welcome back to my blog. Today's card features Kat Scrappiness products. I hope you like it.
I created the flowers using the KS Oopsie Daisy 6x6 layering stencils. I die cut the pieces first on a white cardstock using the KS Oopsie Daisy Coordinating Craft dies before stenciling in the images. There is no rhyme or reason which between stenciling and die cutting go first. I think it is a matter of preference and it depends on the image being stenciled. I used the die cut pieces as a guide in lining up the images on the stencil.
You can use a sticky mat to prevent the die cuts from shifting while blending ink on it. What if you don't have a sticky mat? Use those negative cuts to keep the die cut in place during ink blending. Just put a not so tacky tape behind the panel with the negative cut, piece in the die cut image, then position the stencil over it.
I used the KS Gold Glitter Mousse instead of ink on one of the daisy stencil layers. Since I don't have a brown colored mousse, I used embossing powder instead. After treating the area with an anti-static tool, I pounced the sticky ink over the stencil using a sponge dauber. I poured the embossing powder over it, then heat embossed it. Not all of the details were captured with this technique so I repositioned the stencil and used an embossing pen this time to add sticky ink to the flower.
I repeated this process on the leaves. I used the KS Emerald Glitter Mousse this time for the leaf veins. You might have to clean the stencil in between mousse application to remove the excess glue that got stuck in the stencil.
I die cut 3 pieces of windows from the KS The Night Before Christmas Window Scene craft dies on white cardstock. I trimmed the tree off the window using a scissor and a craft knife to create a window frame. This is a great way to stretch this die.
I adhered the windows on top of each other to create some dimension.
I die cut a kraft cardstock using an arch die. The arch die cut is a bit larger than the window frame but it is okay since I can snipped off the excess later on. I added some embossing detail to the top portion of this kraft die cut which will show through the arched portion of the window frame. To create this, I lightly marked with a pencil where the horizontal frame of the arch ends. I used this pencil mark as a guide where to position the embossing folder.
I adhered the kraft die cut to the back of the window frame and cut off the excess.
I trimmed the yellow cardstock at 5 1/2" on the long side. I scored this at 4 1/4". I created a shaped arch card using this yellow note card. The left side of the die is hanging off the folded side of the note card. I also made sure that this part is hanging off the sandwich plate so no pressure will be applied to it thus, prevent this area from being cut. The arch die I used is larger than the window frame.
I adhered the window to this shaped card.
I arranged the flowers and once I like the placement, I adhered it to the window note card. I raised two of the flowers with foam adhesive. I tucked the leaves underneath the flowers. I added some KS Sparkling Clear Diamond Jewels to the layout.
I hope you like today's project. Have a blessed, brilliant and creative day!
