The base of my card is a folded half-sheet of Basic White card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left.
I cut a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic White card stock for the top layer.
Next I cut a strip of Basic White card stock that I textured by using my cutting/scoring board. I lined up my card stock in my paper cutter and I scored 10 lines that were 1/8" apart. I flipped it over and trimmed it to 1-1/4" wide (trimming very close to the first and last score lines) and I cut it to 4" long. I laid this piece on top of the large Basic White card stock so I could see where the words would go. You will want to use the raised side for the front of the card.
The words are from the "Prayers & Promises" set and were stamped using Smoky Slate ink.
I die cut the fern pieces from the "Fern & Flora" bundle using Basic White card stock.
A 3/4" x 1-1/4" piece of Basic White was cut to go on top of the scored piece. I wrapped a piece of Baker's Twine around it four times.
The fern pieces were taped in place and then the twine wrapped piece was glued on top of that. I used glue because the piece is not completely flat on the back and I wanted to be sure that the twine stays in place. Plus it helps hold the stems of the fern pieces in place. I did add a little bit of glue to the ferns to hold the top parts down.
Dimensionals were added to the back of the scored piece and it was set in place on the front of the card about 5/8" from the edge of the top layer.
Dimensionals were added to the back of the large layer and it was set in place on the front of the card.
I stamped a little moth from the "Fern & Flora" bundle using Smoky Slate ink. I cut it out with the matching die. I glued it in place on top of the wrapped twine piece and the card was done.
This was a very quick and easy card to make. I am such a fan of white on white cards.
Thank you SO very much for taking your time to stop by and see today's sympathy card,
Wanda
