Carpe diem - a beautiful shaped card for any occasion

Fold a piece of white cardstock in half, place a large circle die over the fold and cut to create the shaped card blank. Die-cut a stitched circle from black cardstock and affix it on top.

Tap a range of inks onto a craft sheet, spritz with water and place a piece of white cardstock on top to create the background and dry using a heat tool.

Once you’re happy with the background, die-cut it into a circle, stamp the boy and sentiment onto it as shown and add detail using pens.

Mount the focal topper onto the card front and embellish with gems to finish.
