Happy
Friday!
I had a
super fun Sunday night watching the Oscars and predicting the winners. I’m such
a movie geek, haha.
Anyways, there
were lots of Oscar fashions that stood out to me as I watched. A lot of the men
looked very sharp in their tuxes; most of them went with dark blue tuxes with
accents of black, very nice. Many of the women went with neutral colours this
year. Some went with black and/or white, some went with a blush colour, and some
went with almost a skin toned colour. Both Nicole and I favourite the same dress
and that was worn by...Rosamund Pike who was nominated for GONE GIRL. She wore
a very red lacy dress with red strappy high heeled shoes and some very dainty
simple silver earrings. She looked so elegant yet simple; she didn’t overdo
things.
We loved Rosamund’s
Oscar look so much that we decided to make a card this week that was inspired
by her dress. We tried out a different technique to add texture, we did some neat
border punching, and worked with some different shapes and colours to make this
card, and we have decided to share a how to tutorial with you this week.
Enjoy our
Oscar dress card and hopefully you’ll be inspired by your favourite Osar look to
create some fun and unique crafts!
Rosamund Pike 2015
Red Lace Oscar Dress Card
To create
this card you will need:
White, red,
and neon red cardstock
Thick red
ribbon
Red ink and
clear embossing powder
Silver ink
and embossing powder
Papercutter/Scissors
Lace looking
stamp
Word stamp
Border punch
Heat gun
Step One:
Cut a red
cardstock into a 6 ¾ x 4 ¾ inch card.
Step Two:
Punch the
border design along the bottom of the red card.
Step Three:
Stamp the
lace design onto the front of the red card and heat with the heating gun. It’s
best to flatten your card under some heavy books after you’ve heated it so that
it flattens out.
Step Four:
While the
card is flattening cut two triangles (2 ¾ x 4 inches) in the neon red colour along
with a 2 1/ x 1 ½ inch red rectangle.
Step Five:
Stamp the
red rectangle with some sort of wording. We choose “inspire” and stamped it in
silver ink and then embossed it and heated.
Step Six:
Glue the
neon red triangles on the red card along with the red strip of ribbon and the
“inspire” layer.
And here you
have it...an Oscar dress inspired card.
