Art Impressions Farm FB Fence Set (5770)

Hello and Welcome!!!

Watch video tutorial here!!!

Today we will be creating a super fun “Front and Back” card using a couple of different stamp sets from Art Impressions! If you haven’t seen the “Fronts and Backs” yet, then you are going to love the way you can see both sides of the image when the card is opened and closed. The stamps we will be using today include the cute little Ai Honey Bee Set (5925) and the adorable little Ai Gnomes Set (5765). The Gnome Set has a Front and Back Gnome that we will be placing in the window of our card.

But what is really fun is that the Ai Honey Bee Set has these beautiful sunflowers and one of the little bees that line up perfectly, as well, to create a front and back! It was sort of by chance that I figured that out…and oh was I happy!

Let’s start by stamping, coloring and die cutting all of the images that we will be using today. The dies for the stamps are included in the sets but we will also be using the Ai Farm FB Fence Set (5770) to create the fence and opening in the card.

All of today’s coloring was done using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Pale Yellow, Yellow, Flesh Colour, Blush, Haze Blue, Sea Green, Turquoise Green, Lt Gray, Olive Green, Mid Green, Dk Green, Warm Gray 6, Brown. Dk Brown.

Next, we can create a pretty sky by die cutting a large, stitched panel and blending the panel using our Distress Oxide Inks in Salvage Patina and Peacock Feathers. Let’s also spatter the sky with the Peacock Feathers ink and also spatter it with the Dr. Ph Martin’s Bleed Proof White Ink.

Now we need to die cut the rectangular opening which in included in the FB Farm Die Set and we will need to die cut this again into our card base. I will show you exactly how to easily line everything up in today’s video. We also need to die cut two of the fences from some Kraft cardstock. We will add a bit of inking to the fences to give them a more rustic look. Before we assemble the sky frame onto the card, we will sandwich a piece of acetate in between the layers so that we can give the card a more finished look as well as give us a place to glue our Front and Back Bee! You’ll see what I mean when you watch the video!

We will also need to die cut a few grassy borders and ink them using the Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness.

Let’s go ahead and stamp the sentiment on the section of sky that we die cut from the larger rectangle.

Next, glue the fronts and backs of the gnome and sunflowers and then we can assemble the card!

We can add some highlights with a white gel pen and some sparkle with some pretty topaz-colored gems!
