Artistic Monochromatic Thank You Card

This is a simple artistic monochromatic thank you card made using the Artistically inked stamp set to showcase the ‘eclipse technique’.

Colours used in this project are:

To recreate the artistic monochromatic thank you card, you will need:

Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾”
Poppy Parade card – 4⅞” by 3⅛”
Basic White card – 4¾” by 3”
Scrap Basic White card.

Taking the dark Poppy Parade Blends Alcohol Marker, I coloured in a length of White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and set it aside to dry. I love that with these markers we can have ribbon in almost any colour. The ribbon was then wrapped around the larger Basic White panel and adhered on the back with Sellotape. The panel was then glue to the Thick Basic White card front.

On the smallest panel of Basic White card, I stamped the long-textured image in Poppy Parade ink, right across the middle.

Using a T square ruler, I drew a straight pencil line just below centre and using the Playful Alphabet Dies cut out the letters for the word THANKS. I used washi tape to hold the letters in position whilst running them through the Mini Cut & Emboss Machine.

The panel that the letters were cut from was glued to the Poppy Parade panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The panel was then added to the card front on Dimensionals.

Using the same dies I die cut 2 more of each letter from Basic White card, glued each pair together and added the stamped letter on top. This gives each letter some height and definition. The letters were then glued into the negative spaces on the card front using the liquid glue.

I added a bow to the side of the word and a trio of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.
