Altenew Prairie Roses Textured Card
The process
First, I die-cut all the pieces.
Then, I added Ruby Red and Grapevine over the edges of the flowers. These were die-cut out of Crafty Necessities: Buttercream Cardstock ( note: I did not apply ink at the centre of the pieces)
The leaves were die-cut out of Crafty Necessities Forest Glades Cardstock – I just added a hint of Oak Moss ink.
I die-cut the flower centres out of Crafty Necessities: Caramel Toffee Cardstock and Crafty Necessities: Dark Chocolate Cardstock.
Next, I glued the flower pieces together. This process is easy due to the key-hole system of Altenew dies, which allows you to identify and layer them up.
After this, I worked on the background.
I started by applying Iceberg and Ocean Waves inks directly from the ink pads over a piece of Neenah 80lb cardstock (dragging the pads from side to side and from the top to the bottom, alternating the colours) to achieve texture.
Then, I embossed the paper, and after this, passed the Iceberg ink pad over the raised areas to highlight them.
Finally, I glue the background piece over a C6/A2 card base. I like to make card bases using thick cardstock such as Neenah Classic Crest Ultra Thick (110 lb).
Once the embossed panel was flat/ properly glued over the card base, I adhered the leaves and flowers using glue for the leaves and dimensional foam pads for the flowers.
I also added dimensional foam pads under some leaves that were layering over other pieces.
Tip: Use dimensional foam pads or glue only at the centre of the die cut’s backing so you can slide things underneath if needed.
