MEGS GARDEN AND CSI case file #85

Stacks of happy Hues  

Hello everyone , I am back with you again after being away on a short break from 

Megs Garden.

 I’ve certainly missed creating with these glorious papers .

Today I am showcasing a card with stacked embellishments ..Denise has designed these papers  to blend and flow together perfectly .

Process

1. My base is a deep purple cardstock which I cut into 12” x 6” and folded in half .

2. Cut another piece of cardstock slightly smaller than 6” x 6” , to create my front cover. 

3. I adhered the Christmas paper to the card and stitched around the edge .

4. Beginning with a Tim Holtz Die cut I mounted that onto my base piece. I used various Sizzix dies and began layering them . I included some cardstock to bring out the richness in the papers along with kraft  for contrast .

5. I completed my cluster with a bloom and two leaves .

6. The inside is embellished with a border punched piece on the left side and some washi tape on the right. Finished off with a tiny strip of paper and a tab folded around the edge of the card. Use a stamp if you desire .  

Handy tip  

Sometimes with this technique only tiny sections of the pieces can be seen but this adds to the magical appeal.  In my opinion embellishing the inside really completes a card with style. 

These are such quick and easy cards with lots of dimension and texture.
