I saw, and tried, this card during SAB and never got it quite right. Jeanette Cobb finally posted a video, now I know why.... I was leaving the triangles whole....you add them to a base, and trim off the extra!! Really easy, and very rewarding! I made, and sent, 5 as Sympathy Cards for our church card ministry. Love the look of the Ombre DSP. If you try this, I would recommend a DSP with no "direction"! Too much fun!! Give it a try!
Measurements:
- Basic White:1/2 sheet, 2" x 3"
- Rococo Rose: 4" x 5 1/4", 3 3/4" x 5", 2 1/4" x 3 1/4"
- Oh So Ombre DSP (ret): 2 pcs - 6" x 6"
To Make This Card:
- Score 3 3/4" x 5" piece in half at 1 7/8" and 2 1/2". You will use these score lines for placement.
- Cut the 2 - 6" x 6" DSP pieces in halves, creating 8 - 3" x 3" squares. This will make 2 cards! Separate into 2 3" squares of each pattern.
- Take the 4 that you are using for this card, and cut diagonally.
- Now, take one of the first pattern triangles. Attach adhesive to the point end of the DSP. Attach to the smaller base along the score line - 1/16" away, with the point to the center. (see pix for placement).
- Now, take one of the other triangles. Repeat with adhesive, and attach to base as shown, with the point at the center as shown. Repeat for the other 3 areas.
- Now, flip this piece over, and trim off excess DSP. Trimming next to cardstock base. Toss these pieces!
- Attach this decorative piece to the corresponding "quarter" - which will complete the 1/8" border around it all! So clever!!
- Then, attach to folded White Card.
- Finish by decorating the center, to hide the points, that may not entirely match!
- I stamped my desired greeting in the corresponding ink. Then, punched the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch. Mounted it onto a piece of Rococo Rose. Attach to center of card with Dimensionals.
- Finish with pearls in the corner and a bow. I colored the Silver Trimmed Ribbon with the Lt Rococo Rose Blend. (it fades beautifully...wait for it!)
