Hey friends! I have another card using the new BetterPress plates that Alex Syberia Designs just launched! I just can’t stop playing with them! And this one is even MORE fun because it has a coordinating stencil!
I started by heating up my Glimmer Hot Foil System and trimming a piece of gold foil to A2 size (4.25″x5.5″). Then, I hot foiled the Abstract Background Plate onto a piece of 110lb cardstock. I also hot foiled the Classic Sentiments Plate and used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
Then, I used the coordinating stencil to ink blend Catherine Pooler’s Apricot, Clay Mask, Terracotta, Hot Tub, and Skylight inks.
Once I was finished ink blending, I used the smaller of the Nested Stitched Circle Dies to cut out the center of the panel.
I stamped the cute little couple from the Penguin Love Stamps. The umbrella is from the Sweet Friend Stamps. I colored the images with Copic Markers and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.
Next, I glued the inner circle directly to an A2 card base. Then, I put 3D foam strips behind the outer panel and adhered it to the card base. I put foam squares on the back of the images and sentiment and then adhered them to the card. I added a few sequins using my favorite glue.
I love that background so much! Stay tuned because I have another amazing card using the Charming Flora Background Plate next Thursday!
