So I sat for about 20 minutes trying to figure out how to get the frame look with the mitered corners using card stock…decided I couldn’t.
Then I got a brain storm…washi tape!
On cream colored card stock I applied washi tape down two edges, where they met I used a straight edges and a craft knife to make the mitered edge then pulled off the excess tape.
I did this for all four corners and then had my “frame”.
I used another piece of the washi tape for the stripe, trimming it butted up against tghe other washi tape.
On more cream card stock I made the leaf with a large leaf stamp, unknown company, and I applied Distress ink then spritzed it before stamping.
Once dry I cut it out and foam taped it to the card front.
To finish I stamped the sentiment from Verve Stamps “Tall Oaks” sent on more cream card stock and die cut it out with a funky die, unknown company, before applying it to the card front.
Wonderful framing, and a striking card - with great use of the inspiration sketch.
