The Impossible Card

It’s time for another Fancy Fold Design team blog hop! This month we’re taking on the Impossible Card! And don’t worry the name makes it sounds more difficult than it really is. Once you have the measurements this is a fun and simple card to re-create. Dawn Griffith, a US demonstrator, has a good video and she shares the measurements. You can check that out here.

For my design I wanted to show off the Vellum Layering Designs from the January-June Mini catalogue. So for my base colour I went with something darker to really help the design pop. I thought that Just Jade, which is retiring once supplies run out, would work well. It’s a deeper green, but not too dark. For my other colour I chose Petal Pink. A nice soft colour to compliment the Just Jade and it’s a nice Spring colour combination.

To add some layers on top of the vellum I added a strip of Just Jade cardstock to keep the card base still and then some of the Meadows dies pieces. I had to trim a few of the pieces, but that’s easy enough to do. It was a little tricky getting these into place because I adhered the die cut pieces to the vellum before I adhered the vellum to the card base. But I wanted to make sure that I didn’t have glue showing.

The phrase came from the In the Moment stamp set. And the flowers came from the Dahlia Days stamp set. Then I added a few of the smallest Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the centres of my flowers. Gotta add some bling! Here’s my card…
