Hello everyone! It’s Amanda from Twiddler’s nook today sharing two cards that I created by making two backgrounds, cutting them in half and swapping them. I added a sentiment, some embellishments and have two super cute cards to share!
For these cards, I used the new Many Flowers embossing folder on a piece of Dress Shop cardstock. Then I foiled the new Big Posies foilable panel with silver flowers CheerFoil. I ink blended the foiled panel with Night Sky ink fading as I went down. Then, I held the two pieces together and used my paper trimmer to cut them at a diagonal. Next I simply swapped one half for another and held the pieces together with washi tape. I added foam tape to the back and popped the backgrounds up on white card bases.
For my sentiments, I chose two from Stay Strong and stamped them on white cardstock with Night Sky ink. After die cutting them with the coordinating dies, I inked the edges with the leftover ink in my blending brush from earlier and added foam squares to the back so I can pop them up too.
For a little shimmer I splattered both card fronts with flamingo Water Gems. For this step, I sprinkled a tiny bit of powder on an acrylic block and added a few drops of water. After mixing it with my paint brush I just flicked it all over both cards. The pink is very close to the Dress Shop cardstock but it still adds sparkle even to that part of the card.
After the splatters were dry, I glued a scattering of purple On the Town Gems across both designs. There are dark and light in the colorways of this embellishment pack and I used both purples for variety.
Finally, I tied some purple ribbon around the top of both cards to finish off the designs. I like having things across the card – top and bottom – so your eye is drawn all over, not focused on one area only.
