I used CTMH Artistry and Design Space Basics (free) to weld the flowers and rectangle together. Here's the file if you have Cricut Design Space. I loved this so much, I cut four at once and have been playing with different ideas.
After cutting, I removed the entire image from my mat and poked out any hanging bits of paper. I then cut a square of CTMH Kaleidoscope paper into two triangles and glued them into the corners. Next, I peeled off the center of the cut out and glued it just where it overlapped with the Kaleidoscope paper. After stamping my sentiment (CTMH Happy to be Friends) in Gypsy ink and securing the ribbon with tape, I used lots...and I do mean LOTS...of foam tape. I got very close to the edges so the border and inlaid piece are secured together with the foam tape. I forgot to take a picture, but I'm telling you, the back of that top panel is almost covered with foam tape. There's a time to conserve and a time to got hog wild. This is a hog wild kind of moment.
I don't know who this will go to or for what occasion which is why I used the generic sentiment.
Until next time,
Becca
Using a lot of foam tape is expensive. Whenever I need to cover the entire back of the card front I use a piece of foam sheet and add adhesive to it. Great tip from Jennifer McGuire!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the inspiration and sharing the Design Space file.
Thanks, Julyne. Great advice!
DeleteSo pretty and striking! A work of art and in thrilled to see you've played along at ATCAS this week! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeous, Becca, and such a clever way to get around the bulk issue! Love the sentiment nestled into the knot of the ribbon too. Thanks for playing along with CASology this week!
ReplyDeleteBecca, this is so delicate and pretty! Love the patterned paper showing through the die cut, and your ribbon knot is beautiful! Thank you for playing along at CASology this week!
