You inspire me | Slimline card

February 28, 2021 Sidelle Menon 18 Comments

Hey everyone,

It's been quite a few months since the slimline card trend took the crafting world by storm. I've been seeing such gorgeous slimline card creations all over the internet. Since it's a different size as compared to the regular A2 card, the supplies available are also different.

However, I didn't want to purchase specific supplies for this card so I tried working with my existing supplies. When I saw the current Altenew card challenge, I knew that I wanted to create a card with a dark and striking background.

The Cardbase is the Cairo Creme pre-cut slimline cardstock by LetzCraft. For the background, I used a pink cardstock that I found at a local craft store. I clear heat embossed the Geometric Grid background stamp by MyFavoriteThings. Then I ink blended a picked raspberry, seedless preserves and dusty concord distress inks to get a nice shaded look.

The flowers and leaves are from the Peony Scrolls set by Altenew and are gold heat embossed and colored with squeezed lemonade, mustard seed, spiced marmalade, mowed lawn and peeled paint distress inks. I did a bit of shading using a local sketch pen brand. The sentiment from Altenew's Adore You set is also heat embossed in gold. After arranging the flowers and sentiment, I finished the card off with a few gold sequins from my local store.

I'm really happy with the royal look of the card. I'm entering this card for the following challenges:
