Faux Quilting Distressed Card

Hi Everyone, Happy Tuesday, Paula here with my first post for Ann Butler Designs a Faux Quilted Distressed Card!

Ann Butler Designs - Unity Stamp Comany- Paula DeReamer -Faux Quilted Distressed Card

 I love doing simple, but like to add “just enough” to make them look like it’s more. Ann’s stamps are SO simple to work with, yet have such an elegant look!

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Start with a basic 5.5″ x 8.5″ piece of cardstock, folded in half (finished size 4.25″ 5.5″).
2. Use the Big Shot to emboss the base of the card.
3. Using  Ann Butler Designs Faux Quilting 2″ Stripes.Dots.Hearts stamp set, and Colorbox Crafter’s Ink by Ann Butler in Aquamarine, I stamped an assortment of the patterns in one large rectangle shape.
4. Use TopNote Die to cut out shape from the stamped images.
5. I then used another floral die to cut out additional shapes. I ran these through the Big Shot again, to emboss with the same design of the base card. Since I love a distressed look, I bent/folded/crumbled and used a file on these flowers. Afterwards, I inked the edges. I adhere the layers together and top with a decorative brad.
6. Now that the pieces are all created, I just layer and adhere them together. I did use two pieces of ribbon – one is across the width of the card base, while the second (the lace ribbon) is wrapped around the note die.
7. As you probably noticed as well – I love inking edges. It just doesn’t seem finished until I do!

And that’s it! See, I told you it looks “more” difficult than it is!
Have a great day!
