Artistically Asian with a little Emerald Envy Aperture Card Stampin' Up! UK

Today I have a lovely card for you. I think this would work really well as a Wedding or Anniversary Card, where you could colour co-ordinate the centre stamped image to the couples event

The Stamp Set I have used is called

ARTISTICALLY ASIAN

And although it is an aperture card, do not be put off of trying this as the technique is actually really simple by using the Layering Squares Framelits Dies from Stampin Up!

I added a little Delicate White Doily a the bottom of the aperture

and a generous amount of teeny basic pears for added dimension.

I used a combination o Emerald Envy Ink for the leaves. and Archival/Memento Black ink for the sentiment, and solid black bakers twine.

To make the basic aperture card,, trim a piece of Thicker White Cardstock to 30 x 10.5 cms; score at 14.9 cms; fold & Burnish

Tri, a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to 14.5 x 10.1 cms; Using a ruler, draw a diagonal cross on the back of the panel, select the size aperture you want using the Layering Squares Framelits Dies, and run through your Big Shot

Lay the smaller panel over the top of the card base and make a pencil mark in each c Remove the Aperture section and and stamp the leaf image onto the card base, centering the image between the corner dots you just made

Add Stampin Dimensionals to the Aperture Panel, and mount onto your card base

Stamp your sentiment onto a scrap of Whisper White Cardstock and die cut using the Lots of Labels Framelits Dies.

Add a segment of Doily to the lower section of the card, and mount the die cut sentiment on top of the doily.

Add a bow using Black Bakers Twine

Embellish with as many or as few tiny pearls as you like
