We are teaming up with Perfect Paper Crafting today and I am sharing a card I created with my Perfect Paper Crafting Mini Layers Tool and Perfect Cuttiting Mat. Link to all the product I used at the end of the blog post.

I started my card with a piece of patterned paper that I covered with Gesso. I love using gesso, especially to tone or mute the background.

After gesso dried I stamped Vintage Briar Rose Background. I ised my heat tool to speed up the process.

My favorite border size is 1/16 and 1/8. I adhered my patterned paper to cardstock and line up the Perfect Layers Mini tool up along the edge. Perfect Layers is designed with a patented “catch lip” that simply "bumps" up along the paper. My favorite part is that it has a stainless-steel edging for durability and smoothness of cutting. No more cutting into my ruler with an exacto knife. I used The Perfect Little Cutting Mat for all my cutting. It’s 8x10, double sided - Metric (cm) on one side and Imperial (inches) on the other and printed grid lines - includes card template size.

My pink cardstock is 1/16” border and the gold stripe paper is 1/8” border. After those two, I added another 1/16” border with black cardstock.

Befor I could leave my base alone I had to add some whipped spackle with my new Striped Circles Stencil from StencilGirl Products.

The last step is die cutting all the bits and pieces and adhering them to the card. Special attention was given to my daisy flower. I used Spiral Daisy Die. Once the flower was formed I added Deco Foil Adhesive and once it dried for a bit I added Gold Deco Foil. For the Large Solid Leaf Stem I used leftover gold foil and die cut the leaves from that.
