Happy 2019!

It's been awhile since I posted but I created a a card for my son-in-law's birthday and thought I would share it with you.

Starting with a Basic Black card base of 4.75 x 6", I cut a 4.25 x 5.5" matte from Gold Foil and stamped it with the Crackle Paint stamp and Stazon and then set it aside to dry. I also stamped the sentiment, from Cake Soirée on a scrap of the foil.

Using the #5 Scalloped Circle from the Layering Circles Framelits, I die cut a piece of Basic Black. After the sentiment was dry, I die cut it using the #2 circle from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. These two pieces were glued together with liquid adhesive.

Once the gold matte was dry, I dry embossed it using the Corrugated Embossing Folder. This was then adhered to the card front, at an angle, using Dimensionals.

I used dies from both the Bouquet Bunch and Petals & More Thinlits to die cut some Basic Black leaves. I also cut a branch from the now retired Black Glimmer paper.

After determining placement with the sentiment, I used some of the now retired Fast Fuse as an anchor for the leaves and then adhered the sentiment using Dimensionals.

For inside the card, I used Versamark and the Crackle Paint stamp to stamp randomly around a Thick Whisper White matte. I did not use a block for the stamp, preferring to manipulate the stamp the way I needed to stamp it. I then heat embossed using Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. The matte was then adhered inside the card.

I used my Envelope Punch Board to create my own envelope from a 12 x 12" sheet of Basic Black. After the envelope was assembled, I stamped and heat embossed random areas using the Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder.

I am pleased with the results and think it even has a slight Asian design to it! I'm going to enjoy that Crackle stamp!
