Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia<\/a> here. Today, I am sending a little message with this sweet Focal Striped Card featuring 3D Foam Strips in Large<\/a>. What a fun and unique way to enhance a card design. Let me show you how! <\/p>\n

Start with the Focal Stamp Image<\/h2>\n

I started printing two images of the digital stamp set Sending a Little Message onto white smooth cardstock. Then, I resized the layer to 5.5″ x 4.25″.<\/p>\n

\"Focal<\/figure>\n

I first traced three vertical lines over the center of the stamped image of 3\/8″ wide to cover the major part of the flower base. I used a pencil to then can erase the lines inside of the image and colored it with Alcohol Markers. <\/p>\n

When I was satisfied with the coloring, I inked the borders of the printed layer and splattered them with Fireworks to add more interest to the layer. Additionally, I cut with the paper trimmer the traced lines and pasted the 3D Foam Strips in Large<\/a> over each piece.<\/p>\n

\"Focal<\/figure>\n

The traced strips were less wide than the strips included on the 3D Foam Strips Adhesive Package<\/a>. I made it with the intention to use the strips included on both sides of the package that are less wide than the others. <\/p>\n

Assembling the Card<\/h2>\n

To assemble the card, I created a white smooth card base and pasted the lateral sides of the decorated layer directly on top. For it, I used the <\/a>E-Z Runner Grand Permanent Strips.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Then, I pasted the colored strips in the corresponding place. Like the adhesive strips were less tall than the cardstock strips, I completed it with a tiny piece of Crafty Foam Tape White 108 ft.<\/a> <\/p>\n

Voila, my focal Striped card is finished!<\/p>\n
