Gentlemans Emporium - Frames and Layers

Gentlemans Emporium - Frames and Layers



For this card I've used one of the 12x12 sheets from the Gentlemans Emporium Collection Pack, along with the Flutterby Frames, Nested Inset Ovals and Bracket Frames cut, foil and emboss die sets.  But I've only used foil with the Flutterby Frames.  The Oval and Bracket frame layers have been cut/embossed using them as dies, in my die cutting machine  - no foiling equipment needed.

The Flutterby Frame is foiled using Chocolate Copper mirror finish foil (CO725691) on black card.  

I've cut a section of this paper from the bottom right corner and matted onto black card, mounted on an A5 card blank (14.9cm x 21cm).


The oval is cut form the middle of this piece before sticking it down, and the bracket frame is cut from the top left area (the camera)


As the 12x12 papers are thick paper rather than card, I place a piece of over the back of the paper when die cutting it.  This protects the paper from tearing at the embossed line, and helps with getting are really deep emboss.  To add extra strength when to the die cuts I then glue the 2 layers together.

The border strip at the bottom of the card is snipped from one of the other 12x12 sheets.



The gentleman figure is from the Gentlemans Emporium Ephemera pack.

In my video I show you all the elements for this card, and how to foil the Flutterby Frame.
