Clear Toile Card by Kim Hughes

There is such a simple elegance about toile, so I decided to create a card that speaks volumes without adding a sentiment.

 

Supplies:

Art Flowers, White & Cream

Arturo Cards Single, Soft White

Backgrounder, Toile

Basic Grey Buttons, Urban Prairie

Crystal Clear Plastic, 8" x 8" sheets

Studio Acrylic Paint, Sable Brown

Paper Distresser, Tim Holtz

Basic Grey 6x6 Patterned Paper Pad, Sultry

Red Liner Tape, 1/4"

other:

twine and lace

start by stamping the toile pattern onto a clear sheet with brown paint.  Once dry, cut it down to approx. 3 x 4 1/4.  Cut the Arturo card to be 4 1/4 tall and cut off the front of the card, leaving 1/2 from the left side.

Distress all edges

 

when you add the 2 papers together, it adds a lot of dimension and character.

 

add a strip of adhesive down the inside of the card and press clear sheet onto it.

 

 

and then cover with colored paper to conceal the adhesive.  You can choose to write in this ares if you don't want your message seen from the front of the card.  You can also write your message on the back of the card

 

choose lace that is the same width as the left paper strip and use fabric adhesive or your favorite liquid glue

Embellish with a flower accent in the lower left corner.
