I created this card using a Sizzix Thinlits die, distress inks, and Lavinia stamps.
I’ve entered this card in this month’s Lavinia Stamps Challenge.
I’m proud of the way the bricks turned out! I used VersaFine Clair-Fallen Leaves to stamp the Secret Door image onto a piece cardstock, then die cut the bricks (the Sizzix die makes a group of bricks as a set). I positioned the die cut around the door; used the die cut as a template; and sponged Dusty Concord distress ink on the outline and on the inside of it. Then I placed the distressed die cut, so that the white cardstock would show through on the bottom of the bricks, and used Ranger Multi Medium Matte as an adhesive to attach it. Each brick was outlined with the Stardust Gelly Roll Pen to add sparkle. I repeated this process on the other side of the card and in the middle to create the rest of the bricks.
