A tone on tone card – not the usual white on white though. I used 3 sheets of 12×12 cardstock for this card, which measures 6 1/2 inches square. there was enough card left to cut the stand which I did by folding a piece of cardstock in half and cutting it freehand. The cardstock was not all that strong, so I added a strip to the bottom at the back of the stand to reinforce it.
I started the card by cutting the two triangles (spellbinders botanicals) and layering them together on a 5×5 inch square of embossed card with a 2 inch circle cut out. I cut another strip of card with a 1 /34 inch circle and layered it behind the cut out. The card wouldn’t go through my printer so I scanned it, overlaid the best wishes sentiment and then printed it on paper which i glued to a piece of card with spray glue, then attached it behind the circle cut outs. The card was stacked with multiple layers of card cut between 18 and 1/2 inch larger than the previous layer. The blade in my el cheapo paper slicer needs replacing so I got some shaggy looking edges, but I rather like that look on this very plain card. I am getting a Cutterpillar Pro next week – using some gift cards my daughters gave me for Christmas, so no need to rush out and find new blades for the old $12 cutter just yet…..I might keep it just to get the shaggy, slightly distressed look now!
