It had been a while since I had used the cover die with the little squares in it so I decided to use it to make this fun birthday card as one of my samples for Kingston Crafts using the everyday paper pad. So whilst I am not doing my usual KCC for first of the month I am at least sharing a patterned paper project!
I used the solid green for the base and then the patterned green to cut the squares panel.
I then cut it again from some scraps and stacked a few of them together in some of the squares to add different textures. Some I kept flat and some I left empty to show through to the solid green.
I then chose to emboss the big Altenew floral element in gold and then I painted it with the Holiday shimmer spritz inks. This makes such a pretty finish with the shine and shimmer!
I die cut the image out and then glued it into place on the layered panel.
The colours I chose for the floral element based on the gorgeous red and coral spotted paper which I made the 5×7 card blank from to mount the green panel.
I then used an Altenew sentiment on a scrap of cardstock that worked with the colours. I also added some cream sequins for some shine.
Inside the card I added a panel of white and a strip of the green to tie into the front of the card!
How lovely and bright this is!
Happy crafting!
