Destiny Card

Hey Quietfire Fans! For today's project I'm sharing with you my spring feeling Destiny Card. I combined a variety of dies and stamps, which were all perfect for creating this card. You'll want to grab a cup of your favourite beverage and learn how to recreate my Destiny Card at home.

To start, you need to die cut a 4" Stitched Rounded Rectangle out of a piece of kraft cardstock. Ink the edges of the paper using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut a 3 3/4" Fitted Rectangle out of a piece of white cardstock. Apply Aquamarine Ink to the Dotted Harlequin Background Stamp and stamp onto the rectangle. Spritz the stamped image with a bit of water. Dab off excess water if needed. Once the rectangle has dried, ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Die cut a 3" Stitched Rounded Rectangle out of a piece of white cardstock. Apply Wilted Violet Distress Ink to the Grid Background Stamp, spritz the stamp with water and stamp onto the rectangle. Dab off excess water if needed. Once the rectangle has dried, ink the edges of the rectangle using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

Apply Detail Black Ink to the Destiny is not a matter of Chance Quote and stamp onto a piece of white cardstock. Die cut a 2" Fitted Rounded Square out of the stamped quote. Ink the edges of the square using Walnut Stain Distress Ink and a blending tool with foam.

From the Flourished Frame die, die cut the frame out of a piece of black cardstock.

Die cut the scroll from the Flourished Frame die out of a piece of kraft cardstock.

Adhere the flourished frame to the 4" rectangle.

Adhere the 3 3/4" rectangle to the 4" rectangle. Foam square the 3" rectangle to the middle of the 3 3/4" rectangle.

Adhere the scroll flourished in the middle of the 3" rectangle. Foam square the 2" square to the middle of the 3" rectangle.

To finish the card, cut a cardbase out of white cardstock that measures 5 1/4" x 8", score at 4". Adhere the cardfront to the cardbase.

Here are a few closeup photos of the finished card.
