By: Heather Riviera

Materials: Kaleidacolor® Creole Spice Encore® Ultimate Metallic Silver Blue Velvet paper Brown, white and copper cardstock Cream handmade paper White and blue mesh Dried leaf, coin, and glass bead embellishments Brayer Stamps: Script, Bug, and Whisper

Instructions: Cut and fold the Blue Velvet paper into a 4” x 8” card. From the outside working in, layer the other colors starting with the brown cardstock, then the cream handmade paper, the copper paper, another layer of the blue velvet paper and finally the white mesh.   On a white piece of cardstock, brayer the Creole Spice Kaleidacolor. Cut out one 2” square, two 1” x 2” rectangles, two small 1” squares, and 1” x 1” rectangle.   Using the Encore Ultimate Metallic Silver Pad, stamp the Script rubber stamp onto the larger square, the two smaller squares, and one of the 1 x 2” inch rectangles.   Stamp the word Whisper onto the 1” x 1” rectangle and the bug onto the other 1” x 2” rectangle again using the Encore® Ultimate Metallic Silver inkpad.   Adhere all of the pieces onto the white mesh layer of your card. Attach the large square at the bottom of the card first and then adhere the leaf. Next, layer the rectangle with the bug stamp on it above the square piece and over the middle section of your leaf embellishment. Above the bug rectangle, adhere the rectangle with the script stamped on it. On top of that, attach a piece of blue mesh the same size as the rectangle. Glue the top part of the leaf down on top of the script and blue mesh rectangle. One the very top row, attach one of the small squares and the rectangle with the word “whisper” on it.   On the bottom left of the card, attach the other small square and add blue mesh on top of it. Attach the small square bead also. Attach the small coin to the card as well.   To finish off the card, add the copper ribbon and beads along the side.
