Altenew Academy ALL ABOUT LAYERING ‘Clean and Simple Boutique Cards’

 Hello again!  I'm taking another spin at the Clean and Simple Boutique Card.  This one turns a plain white base card into something kinda special.  So... let's get started.  Here's the final card:

SUPPLY LIST:

A2 CARD BASE 

GOLD MIRROR CARDSTOCK

VERSAFINE ONYX BLACK INK

GOLD INK

CLEAR EMBOSSING POWDER

ALTENEW BOUQUET BASKET STAMP AND DIE SET

ALTENEW SENDING HUGS SENTIMENT FROM THE CLASSIC GREETING SET

DECORATIVE BACKGROUND DIE

Start by die cutting your decorative background die with the specialty cardstock.  I use gold mirror cardstock for this card.

Next, stamp the Bouquet Basket image with the Versafine ink on a piece of white cardstock.

Cover the stamped image with embossing power.  Shake off the excess powder and use your heat gun to melt the powder.  

Now die cut the image.  Also cut extra blank pieces of paper with the Bouquet die.  Use black paper for these extra pieces.  We will glue them together to give a 3D look and offset one to create a shadow.

Now for the sentiment.  Stamp “SENDING HUGS” from the Altenew Classic Greetings set on white cardstock.  Use ink in a gold tone.  Now fussy cut the sentiment out and add 3D foam circles.

Almost there… glue the background element you cut in the mirror paper to the A2 base.

Now you have all the elements for a sweet little card to send to someone you care about.  All you have to do is stick everything down, I placed the sentiment in the circular space in the center of the card and off set that sweet little bouquet.

Here’s a final look.
