My wedding anniversary is just before Christmas and this year we are
celebrating 32 years of marriage. This is the card I made for my
husband.
I used 300gsm white card stock for the base, then layered two matting
boards using blue shaded blue paper. The base was an A4 sheet, folded
in half and then I trimmed off an inch from the bottom.
The top cut out is a spellbinders die, which comes with an oval which
I used to make the blue oval matting board, cut from the same shaded
blue paper as the matting board. The blue backing board is 1/2 inch
larger than the die cut out. I printed the sentiment onto white
cardstock and cut it out using the second largest spellbinders classic
oval die.
The lower boards were cut 1/4 inch smaller for each layer. I layered a
blue layer, then white then a second blue layer. The ribbon is one
inch wide satin and is tied around the last two matting boards and into a
double bow. The board was layered with foam tape onto the lower blue
backing boards, which were then attached to the card base with foam
tape.
Finally I added three pale blue diamontes to the sentiment, and used
the same pale blue diamontes to bling up the spellbinders cut out.
