Good morning! I was inspired to make this card from two things, a pair of cowgirl boots I have and from a lot of different southwest furniture I've seen. Lots of old wood with turquoise old, cracked paint or turquoise details of another kind plus the always popular silver details on boots and furniture.
Card size: 6 X 6”
Make a card base from kraft 12 X 6”
cardstock, fold in half to make 6 X 6” card.
Die cut French Courtyard from turquoise and
from silver (be careful when cutting silver so that you do not lose any pieces,
you will use some parts normally thrown away).
Also cut the circle sentiment from turquoise, background from kraft and
also cut some companion circles using the 2 circle die sets to fit out of
silver, turquoise, kraft and white. (cut foam to fit 2 different circle layers
to pop-up).
Glue the turquoise French Courtyard to
kraft card then fill in some of the design (the rays at each corner and the
small circles) with silver.
Stamp sentiment on white circle using
embossing ink, heat emboss using Tuscan embossing powder (it is a combination
of turquoise, copper and multi color).
Layer all the circles together larges to smallest including pop-up foam
layers. Glue them to the center of card.
Stamp leaves with Garden Patina, sponge,
die cut then shape in the mold (see video).
Stamp wild roses using Paradise Teal, sponge with Garden Patina, die cut
then shape in the mold. Glue 2 blossoms
per flower, fill centers with silver Prills after making a well in the center
of each flower with a foam mat and stylist.
Glitter flowers. Cut leaves apart
in sets of 2 or 3, paint with shimmer and lacquer mix.
Add leaves and flowers to the left side of
the center circle sentiment, going around it.
John 10:28-30New Living Translation
28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one can snatch them away from me, 29 for my Father has given them to me, and he is more powerful than anyone else.[a] No one can snatch them from the Father’s hand. 30 The Father and I are one.”
