Hello and Welcome!

Watch video tutorial here!
Today’s card would be great for the current Ai “I See Right Through You” Blog Challenge since we will be creating a card with a sheer vellum overlay. That will allow us to see right through to the pretty peonies and will soften the look of the card and give it and elegant touch! For the images, we will use the brand-new Ai Peony Margin Set (6164). This beautiful set comes with two margin stamps, and each have an elegant scroll border around the edges! What’s also great is that the stamps are the reverse image of each other!
Next, we will stamp the image and color it in using the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens in the following colors: Blender, Lt Pink, Pink, Yellow, Ever Green, Green Gray. Now we can grab our gold gel pen and color the pretty scroll border. This will add some shine and elegance!
Using the brand-new Ai Ornate Margin Dies (6155) we will die cut the border of a 5″ x 7″ card base. We are only going to cut the border… so I will show you exactly how to do this in today’s video.
We will add a gold metallic border around the peonies and die cut a sentiment from this same set. This set comes with two border dies and four sentiments. Just select the sentiment that you like best!
Now, let’s add the vellum overlay by cutting it down to the same width as the peony panel and wrapping it around, and attaching it using some 1/4″ double-sided tape.
For the inside of the card, we will cut a piece of pretty pink cardstock, wide enough to fit behind the scroll border on the front of the card. Then we will also add a thin strip of gold metallic cardstock right next to the pink.
Let’s also add a metallic border around the peony border. And then we will select a patterned paper from the Ai Valentine’s Series 2 Cover PP (6182). This paper is plenty long enough for a larger project like this one. We will cut this patterned paper to fit on the left side of the front of the card.
With another piece of pink paper cut to fit on the center of the card panel we will add the “loved” sentiment and pop up the entire piece onto to the card.
Let’s add the peony margin to the card front and add some sparkly pink hearts. We will color in the hearts using our alcohol markers.
Finally, let’s also add a few sequins for a bit more sparkle and interest!
