Good morning guys!
This is Khushboo Gandhi here, with an inspiration post this week. For my project this time, I chose to show you guys how you can achieve layering when you're making cards. Sometimes layering looks complicated, but it's not that difficult. There's a simple technique to it - and it all comes down to balancing out your elements on the card.
So let's take a look first at what I've created.
Materials used:
- Lindy's brown spray paint
Brief steps for creating a card with layers:
- Take an A4 sized white cardstock and score in the middle of it - to fold it into two and serve as a base (and the first) layer of the card.
- For the second layer - take an aqua blue cardstock and cut it 1/8th inch less than that of your white card. Punch the corners with a designer corner punch.
- Add chipboard underneath it (to give it a 3d effect) and stick it onto the base.
- For the third layer - take your pattern paper and cut it in the shape of tags. If you want, you can stick it onto a black cardstock before sticking it on the chipboard, and then onto the aqua blue cardstock.
- Take your brown distress ink and distress the edges of the cardstocks.
- Curl or distress the edges of your tags to give it more depth and character.
- For the base line, below the tags, take a thin strip of printer paper and cover it with a washi tape of your choice. Stick it underneath the tags to make the card more cohesive.
- Stick a sentiment of your choice, with pearl brads at its ends.
- Finally, splash some brown spray around the card.
Hope you guys enjoyed my creations and the tutorial. Can't wait to see how you add your own twist to this!
