Happy Retirement Card

In the UK, due to customs delays we must wait a little longer for our Paper Pumpkin kits to arrive. So today I got out the leftovers from April’s kit and added my own twist to a card by Creative Celsey which I found on Pinterest.

Colours used to make this card are:

 

I created the happy retirement card using the following supplies:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Piece of card 2 – 4⅛” by 3¼”
Piece of card front 3 – 4¼” by 3⅛”
Piece of card 2 – 4” by ½”

 

I placed the Water Mask onto the front of the Balmy Blue card front and used a Blending Brush to add Balmy Blue ink through the stencil.

I cut down the Misty Moonlight panel to 4⅛” by 3¼” and tore down both edges to expose the white core. The torn piece was then glued to the card front.

The wood grain card base was cut down to 4¼” by 3⅛”. I stamped the rushes with Garden Green ink across the panel and added the piece to the card front. I also stamped the trio of birds with Misty Moonlight ink in the upper left corner. The bicycle was added on Dimensionals.

Using a strip left over from the Misty Moonlight panel, I stamped the sentiment from the Sunset Coast stamp set with Versamark ink. I covered the ink with White Embossing Powder and set it with my Heat Tool. I flagged the ends and added the sentiment to the card front on Dimensionals.

Torn Paper Effect Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing torn paper techniques. The version of the torn paper technique I am sharing was very popular two or three years ago, but I never got around to trying it……. now is my chance. I have used the Thoughtful Journey designer series paper (dsp) to make my card.

Colours found in this card are:

 

To recreate the torn paper effect card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” on the long side
Misty Moonlight Two Tone card – 5½” by 3¾”
Thoughtful Journey dsp – 5¼” by 2¾”
Basic White card – 2 ¼” by ½”

 

The piece of Thoughtful Journey dsp was adhered to the front of the Thick Basic White card front.

I placed the panel of Misty Moonlight Two Tone card (lighter side uppermost) on top and worked out which part of the dsp I wanted to show and marked the card with a pencil.

I then carefully tore a strip down the centre of the card to just over half-way. Using a Bone Folder I curved the loose middle section and carefully rolled it up gluing it in place with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.
