Art deco look


Standing up and open

Our current challenge here at Double Trouble, is to use 3 layers, 2 pattern papers and a sentiment, but you can also use the sketch at TSOT # 677, and make a fan card which is what I chose to do. They look difficult, but are actually easier than one thinks. Due to backlinking I cannot enter my card into the TSOT challenge, but it is an example of combining the two challenges for anyone interested.

I followed a tutorial found HERE as this person had changed sizes to an A2 style which is my preferred size to use. Also one of my stamp buddies has done a card like this and she recommended the same tutorial.

My card uses a mat gold card base, PP from CTMYH, small piece of PP from a paper pad, a sentiment from Spellbinders, a Hero Arts die cut, and my butterfly is from StampinUP. I may not be correct about the PP being from CTMYH as I’ve had it for a long time and I don’t remember this pattern from StampinUP. I went around the sentiment die cut with a Spectrum Noir marker in navy to match the dark PP. It is quite an effective card visually and fits into a regular size envelope.

Thanks for stopping by, I appreciate you and your time.

  6. Lovely Art Deco card, Johanna! You have captured the vibe of a “modern” design that has been around for more than 100 years. How clever. Your paper choices are perfect, as well as the sentiment and small elements.
