Trio of Kites card

Posted on April 12, 2022April 11, 2022 by Mo Rootes

I have been playing again with the Kite Delight stamp set which is sadly retiring at the end of April and have made a pretty card featuring a trio of kites.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the trio of kites’ card, you will need:

Balmy Blue card base – 8¼” by 5⅝” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Cherry Cobbler card – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside – rounded upper right corner
Basic White card – 3¼” by 3¼”
Scrap Basic White card

Using a Blending Brush, I added Balmy Blue ink to the square of Basic White card and die cut a Layering Circle from the inked area.

The inked circle was placed onto one of the Basic White panels and 2 kite strings stamped overlapping the circle in Memento Tuxedo Black ink. A third string was added lower down on the left. The circle was then adhered to the card front on Dimensionals. The whole panel was glued to the Cherry Cobbler panel and then to the Balmy Blue card front using liquid glue.

The three smallest kites were stamped onto scrap Basic White card in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and cut them out using Scissors.

I coloured in the kites and kite strings using Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight Blends Pens.

The strips of cardstock were added one at a time to the panel and trimmed off the excess. When all the strips were adhered, I ran the whole piece through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Ornate Floral Embossing Folder. I really like the effect this gives.

I die cut the gorgeous border from the longer Basic Black panel using one of the Basic Border Dies and added it to the back of the embossed panel. The whole piece was added to the card front on Dimensionals.

The sentiment from the Kite Delight stamp set was stamped in Versamark ink onto the strip of Basic Black, covered with white embossing Powder and heat set using my Heat Tool. I added it to the card front with liquid glue.
