With Spring comes weddings
and times of great joy and new beginnings. I thought this composition
would be something that could be useful during this time of celebration.
Please make note that all tracing, embossing, and perforations
to the back of the card
must be done in reverse image. Use the boarder below by applying it
to the outer back of
the card.
The boarder below is to be used to provide the mirror image necessary
for the outer
right side of the card. (See finished composition and pattern
for placement)
Instructions:
Embossing: Use the fine embossing tool to embossing the flowers
on the veil of the bride. Use the small embossing
tool to emboss all other areas of the card design and boarders.
Dorsing: Blend a soft blue and pink dorsing
crayon to the back of the front side of the composition. Blend
outwardly.
Painting: All painting is done on the
front of the composition.
( I blended a number of paints and inks to get the color effects I wanted
for this composition. Let your
imaginations go wild. Or if you know the color scheme of the person
you are making this card for use
the wedding party's colors to complete the composition).
Use Pinta Perla Geel Yellow for the bride's hair. For the groom's
hair combine one to two drops of the
Sepia to a generous drop of the Pinta Perla Wit White. Lighten or
darken this combination until you
get the color that you want for the groom's hair.
For all the skin areas use the Pintura Huidkleur Skin (13).
For the groom's tuxedo combine three drops of black ink to one generous
drop of the Pinta Perla white
this should give you a charcoal gray color. Paint the groom's
tuxedo, bow tie and shoes with this.
Use tiny dots of pink to enhance the flowers on the veil and the lacy boarder of the veil.
Use the Pintura blue to fill in the bow, cuffs and bottom boarders of the
wedding gown. Also add tiny
dots of the blue to the flower boarder of the veil.
Take a small (half drop or less) of the Pintura blue and mix with a generous
drop (or more) of the
Perla White. You want this to barely show the blue only as a hint
of blue in the white. Paint the
wedding gown and veil with this mixture.
Perforations: Follow perforation grid for all perforations.
Use four prong tool for this. Cut out the "x's"in center of
each of the four circle areas. Cut away the rows (as shown in finished
project) for threading ribbon.
.
Use the two prong tool to go around the outside edge of the board. This
will create the tear away lacy
look to finish the card. Do not tear this away until after your ribbon
is treaded through the
composition.
Ribbon: Use a 1/8"
ribbon to thread through the cut away perforation areas of the boarder.
When you have
completed this then tear away the outer boarder to complete the composition.
The finished composition should measure 5 3/4"x 4 3/4".
I hope you will enjoy this months design. It involves a great deal of work on the boarders but you will be pleased with the final project.
