Wedding Card | MFT Stamps - Birds of a Feather DieNamics



Hi!

My niece is getting married next weekend and this card is for her! I can't wait to see my side of the family and celebrate this very happy occasion! 

This is a 6" square card and I started with black cardstock cut to that size; a piece of light turquoise card stock was die cut using the Cricut and adhered to the center to create my base. I then die cut the largest size of  MFT's Stitched Heart DieNamics onto 3 pieces of 110# white card stock measuring 5.25" square. I wanted this white panel to be very sturdy so I glued them all together with strong liquid adhesive and set it aside to dry inside a heavy book. I then chose my colored cardstock and die cut multiples of all of the Birds of a Feather DieNamics images. I knew that I wanted a simple, symmetrical "folk art" feel to this design so I started to layout the pieces around one of the die cut hearts. Once I had a layout I liked, I took a photo, and recreated it on the actual die cut panel. I like to use Multi Matte Medium when gluing down all of these small bits because it dries clear and you don't need to add a lot for it to stay in place. I also added an assortment of small rainbow jewels in coordinating colors from Lucy's Little Things to give it a bit of sparkle.


I backed the white panel with craft foam and centered it onto the black/turquoise base. I then placed the clear sentiment stamps in the correct place, gently removed the white panel and used the MISTI to complete the stamping with VersaFine Ink; the white base was then adhered on top. I cut a 6" x 12" piece of heavy-weight white card stock, scored it in the middle and glued the entire card front onto the card base.

I really like the clean symmetry of this card!



Thanks so much for stopping by - I really appreciate each and every one of your comments!
