Find Joy

Hello friends and happy Wednesday!  Today I am sharing a card that I designed using the Lumina Layering Set from Birch Press Design.  Unfortunately, when I made this card, I did not realize these plates have retired, so you are no longer able to purchase this exact die, but perhaps my card might inspire you to try a similar layering die, or use a combination of these fiery colors.  I can recommend the Enchantment Plate Layer set or the Viola Plate Layer set both by Birch Press Design in lieu of the layering plates I used.  

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I then covered the white card base with a 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of Basic Black cardstock.  I Cut Layer A (the top layer) of the Lumina Layer Plate with yellow cardstock.  I cut Layer B (the middle layer) from orange cardstock and I cut Layer C (the bottom layer) from orange glitter cardstock.  

I adhere the three layers of the die together with LineCo fine tip liquid adhesive.  This is my go-to liquid adhesive for card making.  It is actually a well-known book binding glue, so it works exclusively well on paper products with out warping or damaging paper.  

I adhered all three layers of the Lumina plate to the black background.  For the sentiment, I used the Find Joy Word and Outline die.  I die cut the back shadow layer from orange cardstock and the top layer from white cardstock. I adhered the two layers together and then mounted the sentiment to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  

Initially when I created this card I thought it reminded me of the sun, or sunflowers, but I love how vibrant and bold the colors are against the black background.  
I hope you have enjoyed today's card.  Thank you for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!
