When I was experimenting in foiling regular background dies with the Gemini FoilPress I used Hero Arts Woodgrain Fancy Background die onto Kraft cardstock. It was lovely. I knew I wanted to use it for a masculine card and decided to use the masculine image from Art Impressions’ Birthday Wishes.
I decided to paper piece the shirt in the image. I stamped the gentleman and the balloons onto Neenah Classic Crest cardstock. I also stamped it onto some Recollections Bright and Basic striped paper. I used the colors in the striped paper to color the rest of the image. I fussy cut around the shirt and then adhered it onto the image with liquid glue.
Once everything was colored the stamped panel was adhered to the Silhouette PIXScan Mat and cut with the software.
The woodgrain panel was cut down using a stitched rectangle and adhered it directly to a top folding ivory cardstock. The silhouette cut images were adhered to the woodgrain panel with Simon Says Stamp Big Mama Foam Tape.
The sentiment was foiled onto ivory cardstock and cut into a thin banner with a Simon Says Stamp Sentiment Label and adhered with foam tape as well.
