Canada Inks Up Team Blog Hop

The Canada Inks Up Team Blog Hop challenge was to use products from the Annual and January to June Mini catalogues.

I decided to do a Joy Fold Card and to start with the Forever and Always bundle and see where it went from there. I am quite pleased with the way it turned out.

Here are the instructions for the card.

1. Card base Misty Moonlight card stock cut at 8 1/2 x 4 1/4 scored at 5 1/2.
2. Sea Side Spray card stock cut at 4 1/4 x 3 1/4 and attached it to middle of the inside of card with liquid glue.
3. Inside was a piece of Misty Moonlight card stock cut at 8 x 3 scored at 4″, glued to the top of the Sea Side Spray layer.
4. Basic White that was 3 3/4 x 2 3/4 for the area to write on.
5. Hydrangea Hill Mercury Glass Acetate cut at 2 3/4 x 4, but I used the flip side of the acetate showing the silver side. I sponged some liquid glue on the wrong side, by doing the sponging of the glue it spread a thin layer of glue all over the acetate therefore the glue did not show through the acetate. I then attached the acetate to the short side on the outside of the card base.
6. Silver Foil 2 3/4 x 3 3/4 and attached it the Misty Moonlight flip fold of the card with liquid glue.
7. Building the focal point I started with the largest die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies in Midnight Madness and then die cut the next sized die in Sea Side Spray.
8. The Mercury Glass Acetate is cut about 3/4 x 3 1/4 and flagged on both ends and glued onto the middle of the Midnight Madness Stitched So Sweetly die with Stampin Seal. The Sea Side Spray die is attached over the top of the Misty Moonlight with dimensionals and then it is all attached to the silver layer with dimensionals.
9. The word Love is die cut in Silver Foil from the Always Die set and then attached with liquid glue.
10. The flower is from the True Love Designer Series paper which I colored with light and dark Misty Moonlight Blenders and light snd dark Granny Apple Green Blends. It was attached with dimensional and liquid glue.
11. Metallic Silver Pearls to finish off my card.
