Caardvarks :: Core'dinations Cards

Hey everyone! I'm back today to share with you a few cards I made for Caardvarks! Core'dinations is the sponsor and they are offering a 3-month guest design team position! How fun is that?! All you have to do is create a monochromatic card! Check out the blog post here for all of the details!

Instructions

1. Trim cardstock to create an A2 card base and sand it a bit.
   
2. Trim embossed cardstock block, sand, and distress edges with fingernail.
3. Adhere cardstock to card front.
4. Apply scor-tape to card front bottom, then add rose trim and ruffle along the tape.
5. Add pearls.
6. Trim sentiment from cardstock and adhere to label die cut, then adhere to card front center.
7. Add pearls to label die cut.

Tips & Tricks

• With all of the great trims on the market, don't forget to use them in creative ways. With this trim, I ruffled it up so the roses will appear closer together.
