I have a new home card to share with you today. I really enjoyed making this and pushing the boat out to make something extra special.
I have a friend who is moving house today. It is a big deal and I wanted it to arrive on the day she moves in so I had to make it extra special.
How I made this card
- I used the Hometown Greetings Edgelits to create the little landscape and used a scrap of watercolour paper I had used previously on a card as the night sky. You can see the card I made using watercolour paper and brusho here
- I added some layers of smoky slate cardstock which I cut into undulating layers and inked the edges with a dauber and basic grey ink.
- The landscape on the horizon was mounted on dimensionals to give some depth and dimension.
- I cut a stitched circle using the Stitched Shapes framelits and then cut a circle inside using the Layering Circles Framelits in whisper white cardstock.
- I cut a smoky slate scalloped circle using the layering circles and cut a circle inside.
- I layered the scallop and stitched circle and glue the landscape using a combo of dimensionals and tombow.
- I added some wooden frames elements to the circle frame and stamped the greeting using the At Home With You stamp set and the Stamparatus.
Here is the inside of the card. I had a little fancy die cut trim from the Bouncing Baby Framelits which I added.
I have having so much fun I could not stop there so I made a custom envelope too!
I used the Frosted Floral designer series paper and created a pouch with a little depth to it to house the card. I added some buttons from the true gentleman button pack on page 199 and some linen thread to act as a fastener.
I really hope my friend loves it and that it fills up an empty windowsill and makes her new house feel more like home.
