Trio of Kites card

Posted on by

I have been playing again with the Kite Delight stamp set which is sadly retiring at the end of April and have made a pretty card featuring a trio of kites.

Colours used in this project are:

 

To recreate the trio of kites’ card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Cherry Cobbler card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Scrap Basic White card

Using a Blending Brush, I added Balmy Blue ink to the square of Basic White card and die cut a Layering Circle from the inked area.

The inked circle was placed onto one of the Basic White panels and 2 kite strings stamped overlapping the circle in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. A third string was added lower down on the left. The circle was then adhered to the card front on Dimensionals. The whole panel was glued to the Cherry Cobbler panel and then to the Balmy Blue card front using liquid glue.

I coloured in the kites and kite strings using Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight Blends Pens.
