Wrap Around Father's Day Card


Welcome
It's my turn to host the TLC (Technique Lovers Challenge) again over at Splitcoast Stampers and for this challenge, we are making a
So often the back of our cards are just left plain so I find this technique adds a lot of interest.
I used this technique to make a Father's Day card for my husband.

So, here's what you need to do to make one.
  • I began by cutting a piece of white cardstock that measured 11 x 4 1/4 inches to make the base. Score at 5 1/2"
  • I cut another piece of white cardstock 6 x 4 1/4" to use as the 'wrap around' portion of my card. 
  • I placed the Lacy Edge stencil from A Colorful Life Designs over the wrap and inked it up with some Peacock Feathers and some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink.
  • I splattered with my white Posca pen and set aside to dry.
  • I die cut 3 circles; one white, one blue and a green one.  I stamped the sentiment on the white one in my Misti and glued them all together.
  • Next, I scored my 'wrap around' piece at 3" and glued that onto the white card base.
  • I cut 2 green strips at 1/4" thick and glued those along the edges of my stenciled piece just to make it look more finished off.
  • Finally, I used some foam tape to add the sentiment over to the side.

Here is the stencil I used:

I love the wrap around idea and the blue and green looks great using this Lacy Edge stencil and a lovely large circular sentiment added to finish it. A wonderful Father's Day card Karen. x
