PFS Slim Ornate Banner┃Inspiration Card
Happy Monday, friends! I hope you are getting a great start off this week, today I’d like to share with you this “Sending Comfort for Today, Hope for Tomorrow” card that I made using the Slim Ornate Banner Die Set by Pinkfresh Studio. By the way, this card is part of the fabulous Instagram Hop that is happening right now on Instagram. In case you want to hop along with us, I’ll be adding a link below so, you won’t miss a chance to win one of the many fabulous prizes. That being said, let’s jump to the step by step on how I made this card ↓
To begin with, I started by creating the card base out heavy weight white cardstock. To do that, I trimmed down with the paper trimmer an 8’’ x11’’inches cardstock sheet to H 8-5/8’’x W 7-1/4’’inches then, I transfer the cardstock to my scoring board, and I scored a line at 3-5/8’’inch mark. Once the scoring line was done, I folded the card base in half, and I reinforced the fold with my Teflon bone folder then, I set it aside.
Meanwhile, to create the card panel layering for the card, I ran through my Platinum 6 Die Cutting and Embossing Machine 1 out of the 2 Tim Pail color card panels along with the largest die from the Slim Ornate Banner Set. Then, I ran through the die-cutting machine the second-to-last die from the set along with the second card panel. Lastly, I ran through the die-cutting machine the smaller die from the set to die-cut it out of white cardstock.
Right after when all 3 die-cutting pieces for the card panel layering were finished, I mounted the largest panel with craft foam and double-sided tape to the card base then, I adhered down the second card panel layer with double-sided tape over the first layer. Lastly, I mounted the white layer with craft foam and double-sided tape adding that way lots of dimension in between layers.
After finishing the layering for the card panel I set it aside and I started the heat embossing for the focal point. So therefore, I placed inside my stamping tool a large Strathmore 400 Series Watercolor panel and I added lots Embossing Powder Tool over it. Then, I stampeded the Floral Cluster and their Stems, as well as the tied bow, Sending sentiment and a sub-sentimet over the card panel with Embossing Ink. Lastly, after the stamping, I removed the card panel and I covered the stamping with WOW! Metallic Gold Rich and I finished the heat embossing with my Heat Embossing Gun Tool.
To add a pop of color, I made a loosely watercolor wash over the floral cluster with Pink, Blush, Mint and Gold hues.
So, after my water-coloring was completely dry, I ran through the die-cutting machine the card panel along with the coordinated dies to die-cut the Floral Cluster, Sending and Tied Bow out of the panel. By the way, for this card I used Floral Vase Stamp and Floral Vase Die sets. Finally, after all die-cutting pieces were done, I mounted the floral and the sending with foam squares adhesive (as shown above) as well as the sub-sentiment which I trimmed down on a strip form. As for the tied bow, I glued down with liquid glue and to finish it off, I also glued down here and there with liquid glue a few of my Crystal Mix for and extra touch of shine.
