Today I wanted to share a quick and easy technique with you.
When I discovered that the Bright & Beautiful 6″x 6″ Designer Series Paper was perfect for this bundle, I chose one of the designs to use for this card – well, several sheets of this paper design.
The technique is PAPER TEARING. Essentially, I tore strips of the DSP from side to side.
TIP: By lifting the paper as I tore it, I was able to expose the white inner area of the paper.
Then I adhered each strip of paper, from dark to light, creating a wave-like pattern.
After creating this wavy background, I chose to adhere it to a Basic White panel.
Then I used the wavy die, from the Beach Day bundle, to create the foreground layer. I took the Dark Pecan Pie Blend Pen to add flecks of colour to the ‘beach’.
The palm tree was made by die cutting the palm leaves from Pretty Peacock card stock and the trunk from Pecan Pie card.
The deck chair was stamped onto a piece of the DSP and cut using the coordinating die.
After stamping the greeting, I cut it using one of the Autumn Leaves Dies. Then I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the greeting anf placed it on the card front.
I added a strip of the torn DSP on the card insert and stamped a deck chair on the back of the envelope.
Finally, I added some of the gems from the Tinsel Gems 3 Pack to the card front.
Tomorrow I have another card to share with you.
Until then, happy stamping.
