Wooded Forest Cutting Dies

Velveteen Glaze

This mini slimline card was so fun to make...all that sparkle!!!

Let me show you how I made my card!

I started with the background.  I wanted to stencil on the

Velveteen Glaze onto glitter paper.  I had a jar of Night Sky

and a jar of Happy Heather.  So, to get the purple/blue

color I needed to match my Glitterstock background panel,

I mixed the 2 colors together.

I used a slimline stencil called Wise Fragment.  I coated the back

of the stencil with Pixie Spray and adhered it to my glitter stock

panel that measures 2 3/4" x 6".

The stencil is made for a full size slimline card so it was a bit big!

Using a palette knife I applied the Velveteen Glaze and when I was

done, I immediately peeled off the stencil and washed it.

I was so pleased with how this looked!  It has some star shapes

in it, but also gives the appearance of falling leaves.  I set this

aside to dry and using the Wooded Forest Cutting Die, and

Midnight and Heather card stocks, I cut one from each color.

So my plan was to glue them together and off set them so the Heather

one would look like a highlight from the moon.  And that worked out

pretty well...this is a fairly intricate die.

Next I die cut a 1 1/4" circle from the Heather card stock and

using a blender brush, I used the Velveteen Glaze around the

edges and some in the middle of the circle to give my

moon some visual texture.

I also cut a few pieces to serve as the ground beneath the trees.  I

used the Midnight card stock and cut 2 pieces with wavy lines, then

adhered them one behind the other.

I made a mini slimline card base out of white card stock that

measures - when folded - 3" x 6 1/4".  I prefer these proportions

when making my mini slimline cards.  I covered the front of it

with the Midnight card stock, then my glitter panel.  I adhered my 

moon, then my trees, then the base piece.  I trimmed off a tiny bit 

of excess across the top.  I used a shimmer pen on the moon and

across the tops of each of the 2 layers of the ground.

For my sentiment I chose one of the Conversation Clippings 

and colored it with Copic markers to match the

color of the moon.  I adhered it to the bottom right corner.  I 

didn't add any additional bling to my card, so this was finished!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today.  It's always fun to experiment with
