For my card, I decided to adapt it to a 6" square card. Mostly because I wanted to use paper from my KaiserCraft Gypsy Sisters Collection 6" paper pad. I love these rich and elegant papers.
Using a mix of papers from the collection, I created the front of the card. The panel behind the oval die cut had teal distressing around the edges of the 6" square paper but because I had to trim it down, there was not any left on two of the sides. So I simply airbrushed some B06 around those sides to make it match. I stamped this gorgeous Lovely Roses image with Memento Tuxedo black ink onto Cryogen paper.
Copics used:
Roses - R81, R85Leaves - YG45, Y17, YG41, R85
Shadow - E51
I used my Nellie Snellen Oval Multi Frame die to create the teal oval. For the patterned paper panel behind the image, I traced the next smaller die from this set and hand trimmed it to fit. I popped the image up using Foam Dots. I added some gold pearl accents using my Viva Decor Pearl pen.
For the inside of my card, I trimmed another sheet of DP from the collection. Also included in this paper pack are borders and die cut panels suitable for adding sentiments. I added a piece of border across the top and then used one of the die cuts adding this great sentiment, "Hope your day is full of smiles!"Be sure to visit Sweet Stamps blog and see what the rest of the team has created for you. And please join in on the fun!
I was asked the dimensions for making a 6" square Center Step card. I make my base 5 7/8" x 11 3/4" for a 5 7/8" square card, it will fit perfectly in a 6" square envelope. So here is the template to create this card. You can vary the size of the side panels, I made mine 1" to accommodate the die cut oval.
