BPM/IBFS Wild Berry Thanks

Hey there, crafty friends!

I hope the month of May is going well for you!  I had alluded in my prior post that the project for this post would be using a scrap from that card as the focal point.  I hate to see beautiful pieces of paper go to waste, especially if they are in good condition, and knew that I'd either: use the circular scrap from the berries background or end up keeping it in a bin of scraps.  So . . . let's put it to use!

The design that I had in mind was to use the circular scrap in the middle of a stamped version of the same image and align it so that it naturally fits in.  I'd frame it to add further dimension and end up with a really nice card.

Here's what I used to make it:

• Wild Berries Background Coloring Art Rubber Stamp
• Vellum
• Acetate
• Black card stock
• White A2 card base

 Here's how I made it:

• Stamped the Wild Berries background stamp onto a piece of vellum with black ink and colored in the berries with a blue alcohol marker.
• Adhered the stamped & colored vellum to a piece of white card stock.
  
• Added double sided foam tape to the Wild Berries circular scrap, aligned it with the stamped & colored image, and adhered it to the panel.
• Adhered the panel to the A2 card base.
  
• Cut an A2 sized frame from black card stock, colored over it with a metallic silver glitter marker, put double sided foam tape on the back of it, and adhered it to the card.
  
• Colored a scrap piece of white paper with the metallic silver glitter marker, glued a sentiment onto it, and glued it down to my card.

 I loved that I was able to create a really pretty card and use so many scraps at the same time!  It was very easy to align the scrap with the stamped image, and the frame & use of foam tape really helps it stand out.

Thanks for spending some time with me here on the blog today.  I have some really fun projects planned for June and I look forward to sharing them with you!

Until next time . . . be well!
