Nicky Noo Cards: Alex Syberia Designs BetterPress Release Blog Hop & Giveaway

Hello and welcome to the Alex Syberia Designs BetterPress Release Blog Hop & Giveaway. Please ensure that you read all the way to the bottom of my post for Giveaway details and to find a link to the next blog to visit on the hop! Also, this link is to the Alex Syberia Designs release blogpost.

My first card for this release hop features the following products:-

Classic Sentiments PressPlate

Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set

Cheerful Panda Moments

Cheerful Panda Moments Die

To create the card I first took a panel of minty green cardstock and did a tone on tone foiling using a minty coloured foil by Spellbinders. I attached this foiled panel to my card base and framed it out in white using the Good Day Quilted Rectangles Die Set. This was added with foam tape.

I then took some white cardstock and used the Elegant Blooms PressPlate and the same minty green foil and after foiling it in my Glimmer machine I then die cut using the coordinating die. I added a little yellow ink blending to the centre of the front facing flower and applied it to the card using foam tape

Next, I used black foil to foil all of the sentiments from the Classic Sentiments PressPlate. I chose the Big Hugs sentiment for this card and saved the rest for future projects. I die cut the sentiment and added with foam tape.

To complete the card I added a sweet Panda from Cheerful Panda Moments. I stamped in black and coloured with Copic markers in C3, C1, C00, R22, R21, R20, R00. The cheeks were highlighted and then I die cut and applied with foam tape, tucking him partially behind the sentiment.

A few sparkling clear sequins completed this project. So much fun to foil as it creates a dazzling effect when the card is handled by the recipient.
