Basic White card – 11¾” by 4⅛”
Co-ordinating card bases x 4 – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”

The completed sheet was then cut into 4 panels, each measuring 5⅞” by 4⅛”. I looked at each panel in turn, deciding whether they would be made into portrait or landscape cards.

Each panel was then cut down to either 5½” by 3¾” or 5¼” by 3½” and glued to the co-ordinating panels using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. I stamped a sentiment on some of the panels in Basic Gray ink and for others I stamped a sentiment in Versamark ink onto scrap Basic Gray card, covered it in White Embossing Powder before heat setting with my Heat Tool. These were then added to the panels.

Occasion Framed card for the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop

Posted on September 24, 2022September 12, 2022 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Ink. Stamp. Share Blog Hop where we have a colour challenge. We were asked to create something using 3 of the following 5 colours:

I couldn’t pick just 3, I mean which 3 would you choose?……..so….. I used them all + Basic White to create an occasion framed card.

To recreate the occasion framed card, you will need:

Thick Basic White care base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored and folded at 4⅛”
Design A Daydream dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Polished Pink card – Smidgeon under 5” by smidgeon under 3¼”
Basic White card – 4⅞ by 3⅛”
Scrap Basic White card

The layer of Design A Daydream designer series paper (dsp) was glued to the Thick Basic White card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

I stamped the hexagonal frame in Blackberry Bliss ink onto the scrap Basic White card an added the sentiment in Tahitian Tide ink. This was then die cut using the Beautiful Shapes dies.

The die was then placed on the panel of Basic White card and using a pencil, I drew lightly around the inside. This helps when positioning the stamped images.

Th flowers were stamped first in Polished Pink ink, I always like to stamp the larger images first. The leafy sprig was then stamped in Parakeet Party, the outer image in full strength and the infill image in 2^nd generation ink.
