My 4th card in this 3rd set of One Sheet Wonders is a lattice window card - again using the Honeysuckle Artful Card Kit (HOTP). Usually this type of window is made with the lattice attached from the back of the card and just covering the window itself. For this one, however, I chose to have more of the lattice & put it on the front of the card. It probably would have been better to have something a little less busy showing through the window as well - but I wanted flowers that my my bees would like! :)
CARD FRONT:
- Window - Starting with an A2 pink card base (with white on the inside), I chose a die from JustRite's Vintage Labels Two set to create the window. I centered it on just the card front (I briefly laid the OSW piece on the bottom to help for the vertical placement), taped it in place & ran it through my Grand Calliber. (I went ahead and embossed the piece I cut out, figuring I could use it on another card.)
- Background - I cut a lattice piece from a dark red glimmer paper using the "French Lattice" die from Cheery Lynn. This is an A2 size die so fit the card front beautifully. I glued the lattice in place over the entire card front (using my Sakura quickie glue pen - love that thing!). Then I glued the patterned paper in place near the bottom of the card.
- Sentiment - the oval piece was a cut out from the Kit and then stamped with a stamp from "Janie's Girls" stamp set (HOTP). The "Bee-n" was added by hand with a fine black marker.
- Frame & Borders - The card still needed more definition at this point, so I added two strips of black paper to form a border between the patterned paper and the rest of the card front. I also added a frame around the window - created using the die from the window & the next larger one taped together on black paper & die cut. The bee is a die cut from the kit.
INSIDE:
- The flower & bees on the inside are die cuts from the kit. I didn't add much else because I want room to write my message.
