Happy Wednesday, Friends! On today’s blog, I’m back with another holiday card so, I’d like to share with you a very quick and simple inspiration card made with a “Botanical & Foiled” look using: Joy Hot Foil and Joy Die for the card sentiment. Along with them, I used Holiday Botanical Background Stencil to add the botanical look. And lastly, PFS- Inks to add the pops of colors to the card background. So, without further ado let’s jump right into the step-by-step for how I made it ↓
Therefore, I started off by getting the layered stenciling done over an A2 size white card panel using each stencil included in Holiday Botanical Background Stencil set.
As for the stenciling step, I went ahead to use some ink blending brushes along with the following ink combo: Meadow Ink, Emerald City, and Evergreen Ink for the greenery + Candy Apple Ink for the berries.
Thus, as soon as, I had finished getting the layered stenciling to create the card background, I proceeded to put the card panel off to the side to let the ink soaked in to the cardstock and dried out at the same time.
Meanwhile, I went ahead to get the hot foil stamping done over a large piece of white cardstock using the just released Joy Hot Foil plate. So, to do the hot foil stamping process, I went ahead to use the Glimmer Hot Foil System Platform along with the Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine and a large piece of Glimmer Hot Foil Roll - Crimson Stars.
So, as soon as, I had gotten the hot foil stamping done, I gone ahead to use Joy Die which happens to be the coordinating to cut out the Joy word out of the cardstock piece + a few more die-cutting words out of plain white cardstock to add dimension. Thus, as soon as, I had finished cutting them all, I went ahead to stack them over and then, I put them off aside while, I went ahead to use the Solid Hot Foil Plate to get the reverse hot foil stamping with the leftover foil piece. Although, I did not use the reverse hot foil stamping and die-cutting word today, I wanted to add up this to let you know how simple could be to get two cards done by popping up the reverse hot foil stamped word over another card background with the same design or another card design.
Nevertheless, after getting the reverse hot foil stamping step completed, I went ahead to put that off aside to start the card assembling. Thus, for the card assembling, I went ahead to use the large die included in Essentials: Stitched Rectangles Die Set to cut out and add the stitching details to the edge of the card background. Next, I went ahead to get the backing of the card background mounted with Double Sided Adhesive Foam over an A2 size side folding white card base in a landscaping form. Then, after getting the card background adhered to it, I proceeded to glue down the dimensional Joy word in the center of the front card panel. And, last but not least, I decided not to add extra embellishments to let the foil stand out but, I did add up some details to the berries by using a Handmade Glass Dip Pen along Dr. Ph. Martin's Bleedproof White Fine Art Paint.
