Handmade Card Instructions
- Cut a piece of pink cardstock slightly smaller than twice the size of your envelope one way & slightly smaller the other way (always make the card to fit the envelope!).
- Fold in half.
- Cut white cardstock slightly smaller than your card.
- Tear a piece of scrap paper really ragged (like mountains).
- Set on white cardstock about 1/2" down from the top with the tear at the top of the scrap paper.
- You are going to direct ink (or use a sponge or dabber) to ink on the white cardstock above the torn paper (the ragged edge will be stamped about 1/2" in from the edge of the white cardstock & it will be inked to the top edge.)
- Repeat on all 4 sides.
- Do your lightest color first - in this case I inked tattered rose,
then old paper, then vintage photo.
- Ink the 2nd color about 1/2 way down the first color and then use the darkest color to ink the edges of the paper. If your paper curls iron it between 2 pieces of blank paper.
- Stick to front of card.
- Make a tool for stamping alcohol inks: Take a small block of wood (1" x 2" or bigger doesn't have to be exact!). Glue a piece of velcro to the top of it.
Cut a small piece of felt & put it on the velcro. You've created a tool to stamp alcohol inks on anything - and believe me it's addicting!!
- Drop 2 drops of both colors of ink on the felt & then stamp it all over your 3 metal embellishments.
- Stick a large, then a small blossom in the top left corner of the card.
- Stick the heart on top of the flowers.
- Stick Cherish in the center on an angle.
- Attach the flower to the bottom left with a brad.
