Follow along with these simple steps to recreate this awesome card.
- To make my card, I picked the paper first, since everything is die cut & I don’t have to match an image.
- I liked the teal & charcoal color combo and thought it would work well for a masculine card.
- The paper was cut w/ the largest rectangle die & I added a narrow charcoal mat behind it.
- Two smaller rectangles were die cut out of pale teal & dk teal for the center.
- The stars & streamers were cut out of all of the same papers.
- The greeting & shadow were cut & popped up w/ 2 layers of cardboard to give them a little separation from the background.
- The edges of the overlapping stars were also popped up to level them with center panel.
- Here’s a hint on using cardboard: if you don’t want it to show, use a marker the color of your paper to go around the edges. It will blend in perfectly, even when viewed from the side.
