To Make This Card:
- Run Pool Party quarter through Softly Sophisticated EF. Attach to folded Pool Party card base.
- To do the Twisted Ribbon Technique, you need to begin by making a "template". You will use the actual "base" to do this, this is the 2" White piece. These "ribbon" pieces are 1/2" wide, so you will be making 1/2" pencil "ticks" on either side of the "base".
- I used 2 contrasting, but coordinating, colors of DSP. Begin at the upper left corner and place the first piece from the upper corner, to the first pencil "tick". The top edge of the strip will be on, or slightly below, the pencil mark. Note: I started with a tape adhesive, but I think the "green glue" works best for this! Continue until all pieces of this pattern, are on the "base".
- You now repeat for the other side, with the other pattern. These pieces will "match" on the OUTSIDE edges. They DO NOT form an "X"!! Again, you'll go from pencil "tick" to pencil "tick"!! Set this aside to dry.
- While it is drying, add the White piece to the inside, and add the DSP strip.
- Stamp sentiment in Shaded Spruce onto scrap of White. Die cut with smallest Perennial Postage Die. Set aside.
- Next, die cut circle in white from Everyday Details Dies. Stamp the "stems" onto the circle in Shaded Spruce ink, and line up and stamp the "flowers" in Pool Party. Attach this circle to a Shaded Spruce circle punched with the 2 3/8" Circle Punch.
- Your piece should be dry. Now cut around the edges so that it matches with the "base". Attach this "ribbon" piece to the Shaded Spruce layer, and then attach to card front, as shown.
- Then, add the circle with Dimensionals, over part of the "ribbon" as shown.
- Also, add the sentiment with Dimensionals.
- Finish with knot of FREE SAB Pool Party Crinkled Ribbon and FREE SAB Opaque Faceted Gems in Pool Party! (I told you this was LOADED with FREE product!)
