It’s the final This or That Hop on Instagram for February, and this week’s themes are Slimline vs. Square! Don’t miss out—join the fun and share your favorite style!
For my card, I chose to create a slimline design featuring Altenew's Zesty Life bundle, which includes the stamp, dies, and coordinating stencil. While the bundle offers multiple coloring options, I decided to use Copic Markers for a vibrant touch.
I started by stamping the images onto alcohol-friendly cardstock and coloring them with Copic Markers for a vibrant finish. Afterward, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. For the background, I took a panel of watercolor cardstock and used the Stone Wall Stencil, blending blue ink to create a soft, subtle texture that adds just the right amount of depth, allowing the images to stand out beautifully.
I began by adhering the colored panel to a white card base. Then, I cut a slimline scalloped rectangle from white cardstock and attached it to the panel using liquid adhesive for a clean, seamless look. To add some dimension, I adhered the stamped images with a mix of liquid adhesive for flat placement and foam tape for some extra lift, ensuring the images popped against the background.
To complete the card, I added a sweet sentiment that perfectly complemented the design. I then scattered a few yellow iridescent sequins around the card, adding a touch of sparkle and tying in a cheerful pop of color that brings everything together.
