Timeless Arrangements - Half Star Illusion Card
I made this card for my sweet mama for Mother's Day. I saw the half star illusion card on Pinterest and knew I had to make one using the brand new
Timeless Arrangements bundle from Stampin' UP! There are several versions online, but I used the measurements from this post -
Maria's Crafting Corner. I loved her use of gold to add that additional wow.
Tip: When using gold foil sheets as a layer, cut the embellishments for your card from the centre of your foil base to conserve paper. No one will know the difference once you glue your layers down!
I used a belly band to hold the card closed and added an extra piece of cardstock in the box to hold more flower pieces. I didn't have any matching Designer Series Paper, so I made my own by embossing the leaves in gold on the belly band and using embossing paste with a (retired) brick mask. Additional embossing on the inside panels with some sponged ink worked as well as patterned paper and added texture to the card.
I changed the measurements slightly so that the finished card could stand on its own (The inside panels are all the same height - 5.5"). The half star can be seen when looking from above. Pretty awesome, right?
Colours Used: Night of Navy, Garden Green, Misty Moonlight, Basic White, and Gold Foil Sheets
Thanks for stopping by. Happy Stampin'!
