MORE COSMOS PATCHWORK

This card uses paper and word art from Cosmos Canvas Digikit and Patchwork Party Cosmos Digikit.

The Patchwork Squares have been used as the main feature and also as borders for the card.

You will need a graphics programme such as MCS or serif CraftArtist to make this card.

There are 2 ways you can make it, either by arranging all the elements in your graphics programme and printing on to card, or to arrange, deconstruct and print the indivual elements.

In this case I've arranged and printed the backing paper, borders and the word (Cosmos) and printed the squares separately.

1. Import the paper and crop to approx. 7 ins. x 5 ins.

2. Import the 2 butterfly squares and re-size to approx. 0.75 ins. Arrange along one side of the paper as

    illustrated. Group, copy and reverse and move the copy to the opposite side of the paper.

3. Import the Cosmos word, re-size and position in the lower central part of the paper.

4. Import and re-size the same squares...each will need to be copied and reversed. Arrange in the

    centre of the paper and import and re-size one of the fan handles.

5. Move the 4 larger squares and handle off the main design. Print the main design on to good

    quality paper. Print the larger squares and handle on to card.

6. Mount the backing paper plus borders and word on to dark red card.

7. Spray the 4 squares with a pearl spray (Luminarte Radiant Rain gold used here) and leave to dry.

8. Arrange the 4 sepaarte squares and fix to the card with silicone rubber, angling each square down

    towards the centre. Fix the fan handle to the centre of the arrangement.

9. Embellish if wished.



COSMOS PATCHWORK HEXAGON CARD

Cosmos Patchwork Hexagon Card

This card uses images from the Patchwork Party Cosmos download and a paper from CaroLines Garden Cosmos Canvas download.

You will need a graphics programme such as MCS or Serif CraftArtist to make this card.

1. Import the paper into your graphics programme and alter the transparency so it has a vellum effect.

    Print on to a good quality paper.

2. Import a selection of the patchwork hexagons and resize so they are approx. 1 to 1.5 inches across.

    TIP: Group the 3 hexagons and resize them all at the same time rather than resizing one at a time.

3. Copy and paste until you have 3 each of 2 designs and one of a third design. Print on to good quality card.

    Use a gold inkpad to ink the edge of each of the hexagons.

4. Cut a square of black card approx. 5.5 inches.. Find and mark the mid point. Arrange and glue the 6   

    hexagons around the pencil mark with the dot in the middles of the central space.

5. Trim the black card around the hexagon arrangement leaving a small border and punch with a corner 

     rounder. 

6. Cut the backing paper to fit around the hexagon card as illustrated. Glue on to pink card and then glue the

    hexagon card in the centre.

7. Ink the hexagon for the centre of the card with Versamark ink and emboss with Crystal Clear Print

    Magic embossing powder (Debbi Moore).

8. Use silicone rubber to fix the central hexagon in the arrangement. Leave it slightly raised above the card.

9. Squeeze some pink Liquid Pearls on to a piece of scrap card and use a cocktail stick to apply 'cross

    stitches' to the design.
