Fat Page using CS Designs Sentiment
I have made this fat page using a beautiful digital sentiment
from Chris Stern at CS Designs
This sentiment was an award for having my work showcased on
following a successful entry in their Fit to be Tied challenge.
M & M
(Materials and Method)
I used dark blue pearl double sided card
cut to 4 inches x 4 inches (the dimensions for a fat page)
and added two side borders of washi tape.
I printed out the sentiment after resizing using
Craft Artist Professional
onto white supersmooth card.
I cut the sentiment using a heart circle from
Spellbinders, choosing a die with a four inch diameter.
I opted not to colour the sentiment on this
occasion.
(Regulars will be amazed that I managed not to use ink on something!)
However I did use ink and how! for the next part.
I used plastic packaging from a sizzix die to
make the heart embellishments.
This particular package had become damaged in transit
and the sticky was a bit gooey but I cleaned it up and cut it down to sheets of
good strong plastic.
I cut out heart shapes using a sizzix Bigz die
after I had inked the sheets using Alcohol inks
in blue and pearl.
I opted to use three hearts in graded sizes and I still
have a really nice sheet of dyed plastic
for another project.
To complete the design I mounted the three hearts
using foam pads to separate the layers.
I also mounted the sentiment using
foam as I wanted it to sit proud from the
card.
Affectionately,
Vee xx
