Project Recipe
Cutting & Scoring:
• Tranquil Tide – 5 ½“ x 8 ½“, scored at 4 ¼“
• Whisper White (inside matte) – 5 ¼” x 4”
• Mint Macaron – 5 ¼” x 4”
• Tranquil Tide – 3 3/16” x 4 3/16”
• DSP – 3” x 4”
• Whisper White – scrap for circle
• White Flax Ribbon – 6”
• White Baker’s Twine – 5”
Instructions:
• Fold card base in half and burnish with the bone folder
• Punch a 2 ¼“ circle from the Tranquil Tide matte (ensure you leave enough border)
• Using the Big Shot, die cut the two fish out of the matte (ensure you leave enough border)
• Using the Big Shot, emboss the Mint Macaron matte using the Seaside EF (spritz with a little water first)
• Using liquid glue, adhere the layer of DSP to the Tranquil Tide matte
• Adhere this layer to the card base embossed Mint Macaron matte using liquid glue
• Adhere the ends of the white flax ribbon behind the matte using Tear & Tape
• Adhere this layer to the card base
• Using Tranquil Tide ink, stamp a sentiment on the Whisper White scrap
• Punch the sentiment out using the 2” circle punch
• Adhere the white circle to the Tranquil Tide 2 ¼“ circle
• Adhere this layer to the card front using dimensionals – I put them towards the top and bottom so they didn’t end up on top of the white flax ribbon
• Fold the white baker’s twine in half and tie a knot on the folded edge
• Attach the fish to each end of the baker’s twine using Tear & Tape so they are about the distance away from the circle as shown in the picture
• Trim off any excess baker’s twine
• Attach the knot to the white circle using a mini glue dot
• Place a mini dimensionals behind the larger fish and attach it so it is hanging a little off to the right
• The smaller fish is hanging loose
• Place the adhesive-backed sequins to the front of the card
• Stamp a sentiment on the inside Whisper White matte using Tranquil Tide
• Attach the inside Whisper White matte to the inside of the card using liquid glue
