Vintage card with wooden texture

It often matters more that “What you give” than “How you give”… Be it even a simple “Thanks”, make it special with a handcrafted card
Hello dear crafters! Rumana here once again with a Vintage Thank-you card with wooden textured background, embellished with Dark Vanilla Dew Drops ….. Hope you enjoy the detail!!!

Here’s what I’ve used to make it!!!

1. A 7″ x 10″ black card base, folded into half to make the entire card of 7″ x 5″ dimension
2. Some extra white card-stocks for dying, die-cutting and layering
3. A piece of 5″ x 8″ black card stock for creating textured background
4. A piece of 5″ x 8″ craft brown card stock for creating the frame
5. Altenew Open Peony Layering Die Set
6. Altenew Bold Thanks Die Set
7. Rectangular frame die set
8. Wooden textured embossing folder
9. Dark Vanilla Dew Drops
10. Liquid adhesive
11. A die cutting machine
12. Scissors
13. Alchohol colors
14. Foam tape

Looking into the steps I’ve followed…

• I’ve started the process with piecing the papers for base in mentioned dimension.
• To create the textured background I embossed the black smaller piece of paper with Wooden textured embossing folder and glued it down right in the middle of the card base leaving equal space around it.
• I also cut the brown paper using the rectangular  frame die and attached it around the embossed area using dimension tape.
• Then I’ve taken a piece of white card stock and run it through my die-cutting machine with all the pieces of Altenew Open Peony Layering Die Set.
• I’ve then randomly colored the petals with alcohol color drops of cyan, green and yellow; also the leaves with green and yellow.
• After they dried, I played with the leaves and flower for a while till I was happy with the placement and glued all them down.
• At this point I cut the frame and text of the Bold Thanks die set, took 3 cutouts for layering to add dimension.
• Then I’ve glued the sentiment on the top right of the card focal object.
• And finally I’ve embellished the card with Dark Vanilla Dew Drops in random placement.

The making was really a short and simple process but I’m in love with the outcome…… I hope you like it too!!! Happy Crafting!!!

With Love…
