Beauty of the Earth Archives

I have been playing with the Plenty of Patterns set of masks today and made a cute bear to count on card.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the bear to count on card. You will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Beauty of the Earth dsp – 5½” by 3¾”
Soft Sea Foam – 4½” by 3”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3¼”
Crumb Cake card – 3” by 2”
½” strip of Gold Foil

I used Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive to glue the Beauty of the Earth dsp to the Thick Basic White card front.

Using the pretty stitched edged rectangle from the Nature’s Thoughts dies, I die cut the shape from the panel of Basic White.

I laid my chosen mask from the Plenty of Patterns set of masks onto the die cut piece. Using sponge daubers, I rubbed on Balmy Blue ink and Soft Sea Foam ink. I removed the mask and glued the inked panel to the Soft Sea Foam layer with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

I cut a couple of banners from the Gold Foil strip and glued them to the back of the inked piece. The whole panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The bear from the Count on Me stamp set was stamped on Crumb Cake card and fussy cut out using my Scissors. I used the Crumb Cake Blends Markers to add some shading to the bear and inked around the bear using a Sponge Dauber and Crumb Cake ink and added the bear to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment, from the Penguin Place stamp set was stamped in Early Espresso ink onto the strip of Basic White. The ends were flagged and the sentiment was added using liquid glue on the right and Dimensionals on the left. I added a scattering of Genial Gems to complete the card.

Supplies used:

Today I am sharing a simple but clever card made from the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper. I saw an example of this style of card made by fellow demonstrator Julie Davison and had to try it myself.

Colours used in this project are;

To recreate the Beauty of the Earth card, you will need:

Beauty of the Earth dsp – 12” by 4” – scored at 5 ½” and 11” on the long-side
Bumblebee card – 5¼” by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5⅛” by 3½” – rounded upper right corner
Soft Sea Foam – 3 ¾” by 2 ¼” – rounded upper right corner
Scrap Soft Sea Foam. Mossy Meadow & Basic White

I folded and burnished on the 5½” score line and again on the 11” score line, but this time folded it back on itself. I glued the 1” strip down with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. It makes such a nice contrast don’t you think?
