Teri's Interactive Master Board Card

 Teri Wilson - TerisMailbox

Hello creative friends. It is Teri with Teri's Mailbox posting for the Funkie Junkie Boutique. Out theme is Flowers Are Coming. Today I have another fun interactive card that started with a Master Board to share with you.

I had too much fun creating the Master Board Base and the colorful flowers and leaves for the layered wreath.

I have  youTube video HERE if you prefer to watch.

The MasterBoard

I used a Distress Brayer to add little blocks of Distress Oxide Inks to a piece of Cougar Cardstock. Inks used include Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers and Mowed Lawn. By alternating (cleaning the Brayer off in between colors, you can achieve a layered colorful background with ease. Note: this panel is from my stash. I tend to make multiples with different color schemes at one time and save for future use).

I trimmed the Brayered Background to 8.5 x 5.5 inches and started add many stamped images randomly across the piece. Stamps used include: CMS 241 Ledger Script - one of my favorite and often used background stamps, CMS 377 Tine Toadstools, CMS 181 Nature Walk, and CMS 396 Field Notes.

The Card Base

Use an 8.5 x 5.5 inch White Card Base. The heavier the better for me. I often use 110 lb. White Cougar Card Stock for my bases. Score at 2 1/8 inches and 4.25 inches. Use a Bone Folder to crease the card in half and then fold the front panel back to show only half of the A2 base on front.

Trim the stamped panel into one 4.0 x 5.25 panel for the base and two 5.25 x 2.0 panels for the front and inside front. Attach the stamped panels to the card base.

Create the Wreaths

The new Vault Funky Floral Wreath Die Set from Sizzix contains both a wreath die in addition to multiple flowers and leaf dies. If you are a follower, you know I have a background box with lots of distressed ink smooshed panels ready to go. For the flowers, I selected a variety of bright colors to use for the flowers and leaves.

This photo shows the front fold.

Create two sets of die cut wreaths. The front wreath has three layers, two ink smooshed and the additional layer in grey cardstock. The green wreaths were cut from a Mowed Lawn Distress Ink panel from my unfortunately very large stash. The inside wreath consists of two green die cuts. Glue the wreath die cuts together. Arrange the bright flowers on the right side of both wreaths.

Glue the wreath on the base panel. Center the three layer wreath over the top and glue the left side only to the top 1/4 panel.

Select a stamp from the Note Quote set. Using a stamping platform, center the quote on the bottom panel and stamp. Close the card front and restamp on the top quarter panel so the entire sentiment is visible from the front!
