You are on my mind church in silhouette C6 card -
Day 46 of my 365 day challenge
Hi Craft addicts!
Today's card has been made using a Tattered Lace die set, some Altenew inks and a sentiment from Creative Expressions.
How I made this card:-
- I really like these dies from Tattered Lace and do think that they work well as a silhouette.
- There are two parts to this set, and I first of all placed the oval mat layer die on a magnetic shim and then fitted in the church die so that there was hopefully an equal border around it and cut it out in both black and white card.
- I must admit I did try and cut out a yellow one too but realised that it would cut out the bits that I wanted (next time I will use tape behind the card to keep them in) so I stuck a piece of yellow card on the reverse of the church and cut round it so that the windows looked as if they had lights inside.
- I took the white oval layer and coloured it to look as if there was a sunrise (checking it against the silhouette to make sure that the sun part was in the right place. I used Altenew inks - blues, reds, yellow and oranges.
- I then glued the silhouette part on top of it using a PVA glue.
- I wanted the card itself to have an embossed feature so using my Adorable Scoreboard, I scored 2 lines at the bottom of the card from the inside so it was raised on the outside.
- I used a tape pen to attach the main panel to the card and finally, added the "You are on my mind" which I stamped on to white card using Versafine Onyx Black ink and heat embossed some clear embossing powder to make it stand out more.
- I trimmed it to fit the centre of the card and edged it using a blue alcohol marker.
And there you are a card that is suitable for Easter or just to say you are thinking of someone.
