Fang You Card






Here are two versions of the same card I made for a friend. "Fang You" was suppose to be a play on Thank You which can also be "Love You" in another instance.


Supplies 
Coming soon!


The 411 (Adding more pics after lunch)


Card base: A7 5" x 7" pre-made or cut from black card stock
Card mat: cut black cardstock 4.5" x   6.5" this will give you a 1/4 in border around mat when placed on  Card base.
Stamp image of "Edward" and color in with colored pencils or markers on white cardstock. Cut "Edward" out. 
Die cut out oval on tan cardstock using largest oval from Spellbinders Nestablities Classic Ovals Large.
Distress die cut oval with Ranger Distress Ink Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain.
Adhere "Edward" onto distressed oval with foam tape.
Tear hourglass shape from Rose scrapbook paper. Tear towards yourself to get the white torn edge to show.
Tear another hourglass shape this time a little smaller from old book (I bought a paperback of Twilight for this purpose). You can distress the book page before or after tearing by lightly spritzing with water, crumpling, and distressing with ink.
Place "book page" hourglass over Rose hourglass and adhere with tape on back of card mat.
Cut out black tulle  rectangle about 8" x 10". Wrap around card mat, tape down to keep it from going all wonk on you, then sew down  with black thread. I used a basting stitch and zig-zag stitch.
Stamp with a Flourish image on opposite corners of card mat with white paint.
After paint is dry adhere rhinestones to one corner.
Print out sentiment on clear vellum using Twilight font on your computer.
Die cut, punch out  or cut out sentiment. Adhere to card using vellum tape or Xyron. Ink up edges with black pigment ink or distress ink.
Fasten cross brad to one side of sentiment.
Punch out two 1 3/8" squares out of coordinating paper and adhere to corners of Card base.
Adhere finished Card mat to Card base using glue in center, but sew along edges for a more finished look.


Inside Card
Cut out two rectangles of coordinating paper 4.5" x 6.5". 
Use decorative corner punch for corners.
Distress edges and corners with Distressing ink and water (if you want to curl the edges a bit)
Punch out 1/8" circles to one corner. This will be your fang marks. Embelish your fang marks with Fired Brick Stickles.
Adhere to inside of card.
