Dreamy Handmade Card with Metallic Card Stock

Metallic cardstock is perfect when trying to create a dreamy handmade card. Adding translucent card stock makes it even more magical.

1 Cut a piece of Stardream Metallic Lapis Lazuli to 4 1/4” x 5 1/2”.

2. Die cut the cloud frame from Stardream Metallic Crystal Card Stock and Curious Translucent Iridescent Pearl Card Stock. Cut three individual clouds from the translucent card stock as well.

3. Die cut the moon and stars from CCS Gold Glitter Paper and the pirate ship from Curious Metallic Black Night Card Stock.

4. To assemble the card panel, run a line of glue around the edges of the white cloud frame and adhere to the Stardream Metallic Lapis Lazuli. Tuck the moon and stars under the frame.
5. Adhere the cloud frame cut from Translucent Iridescent Pearl Card Stock in the same manner as in step 4. Tuck the pirate ship in front of and behind this frame.

6. Stamp the sentiment with embossing ink on Basis White 80lb Card Stock. Add gold embossing powder and heat set. Adhere to the bottom of the card panel.

7. Adhere tiny star confetti throughout and place panel on Classic Crest A2 Flat Card.

Though most of the pieces on the card are neutral, adding gold glitter paper brightened things up a bit. The card was inspired by Peter Pan so I think the colors were perfect for this.
