Let’s get Started:
Card Base: 7.25 x 7, scored and folded at 3.5”
Black Border Layer: 7 x 3.25
Copper Border Layer: 6.75 x 3
Card Face: 6.5 x 2.75
Card Face:
I stamped the image with Memento Black Ink.
I coloured the image with alcohol markers.
Assembly
I glued the black layer to the card base, centering on all sides.
I glued the copper layer on top of these, and finally added the card face, again centering on all sides.
Final Thoughts:
I didn’t add any embellishments to this card, nor did I add a sentiment. I wanted the beautiful art work to speak for itself.
I did add a layer of copper foil cardstock to provide some shine, and I feel that worked well for this design.
