I’ve been spending a lot of time in the craft room lately experimenting with ways to make my cards feel more “boutique.” You know that feeling when you pick up a card and it just feels heavy and expensive? That’s what I was chasing with this Freesia project.
I decided to skip the foam tape for the main image and try “stacking.” By gluing three layers of cardstock together, I got this amazing, crisp dimension that looks so professional. I paired it with some of my absolute favorite papers—that Lessebo Navy is so dreamy and the Green Curry Pearl adds just enough shimmer without being “too much.”
If you want to see the full list of inks I used and the step-by-step breakdown of how I did the stenciling, I have a guest post live over at CutCardStock!
