Melissa’s Fab Friday Feature

Hello, Everyone! Welcome to Melissa’s Fab Friday Feature

_____________________________________________________________________________________________

“I love creating for Fall and am so happy that it’s right around the corner!  For my card today, I’ve used one of my most favorite techniques called paper-piecing.  I’ve also created a “Stepped Up” card, showing a fun option in adding just a bit more character and dimension.”

 

STEP 1: Stamp a sunflower on Kraft cardstock and assorted scraps of paper in coordinating colors.

STEP 2: Die cut the Kraft sunflower and fussy cut individual petals from each flower stamped on patterned paper.  Adhere patterned petals to Kraft sunflower.

STEP 3: After each petal has been cut and adhered to Kraft sunflower, color in smaller petals using a Copic marker or colored pencil in a coordinating color.  Stamp center of sunflower using circle image in the Simply Sweet:  Blessed stamp set using Honey Nut ink.  Stamp small dots in Olive Twist ink.

STEP 4: On a die cut Love to Layer:  Notched tag, stamp sentiment in Honey Nut ink followed by leaves stamped in Spring Moss and Ripe Avocado.

STEP 5: Layer the Lover to Layer:  Aztec piece under Kraft frame cut using the Border Bling:  Skinny Diagonals Frame.  Use Sheer Basics Vellum in the center of frame.  Using dimensional adhesive, adhere stamped Love to Layer:  Notched die cut to the center of the card.

STEP 6: Adhere paper-pieced sunflowers to card front.  Embellish with twigs cut using the Dear Friend dies and coordinating sequins.

To step up my card I stamped my sentiment on die cut It’s A Sign:  Hanging Frames Stitched.  I added it to the center of my card with dimensional adhesive.  I then added adhesive crystals and a bow tied in twine.
