Hello crafty friends, Martha Lucia here to share with you a very special card. It is special because I made it for you and using the Aztec Background Borders, one of the most versatile stamp sets that we have. Take a look at my card:

Making this card was simple:

1. 1. Cut the card base using Night of Navy card stock. The size is 4-1/4″x11″ with score in 5-1/2″
   2. Cut a second layer using Pink Pirouette card stock. The size is 4″x5-1/4″
   3. Paste the second layer directly over the card base using snail adhesive.
   4. Cut a third layer using Whisper White card stock. the size is 4-1/4″x5-1/2″
   5. Stamp in diagonal one of the borders included on the stamp set Aztec Background. Then stamp the second image in parallel position using a different color of ink.
   6. Alternate the colors of inks until finishing the layer.
   7. Resize the layer and paste directly over the card base.

In my design I used craft ink to obtain more texture and every time I stamped a border, I covered it with clear embossing powder and melted it with the heat tool.

To finalize my card I stamped a sentiment from the stamp set Dino Love over a piece of Vellum card stock, cut it using a scallop circle and decorated it with a faux belt that I made with plain circle die cuts I created using Sapphire/Gold Rinea Foil. As a final touch I added a few doodles of gold thread.

See you tomorrow with more creativity and great things to share with you!
