Rural Patches 3 Ways
Two Red Robins dies can be used in a variety of ways to give your finished projects different looks and feels. Here we will we be using the Rural Patches in 3 different ways.
Scrapbook Layout
Print and cut several colours and versions of the patches to use as your background. Select your photo and stick the patches around the photo to work as a frame. Introduce your floral elements and leaves to further frame the photo. Tip; lay your design out first before sticking, once you are happy take a photo for reference. Add a title and date to finish.
Faux Emboss
From plain white card stock, cut several patches in various sizes. Trim plain white card stock to use as your card front and begin gluing the patches to the card front. Tip; let the patches hang over the edge of your card front and only trim them down once you are happy with the layout. This gives a more natural look to the faux emboss. To the front of the card add a decoupaged flower, a bright colour and lots of height add a good contrast against the background, and a little bow to finish.
Photo Frame
Cut three of the biggest heart patch. To create the easel effect, score along the top of one heart and to the middle of that same heart. One heart will be your base, the scored heart becomes the mechanism for the easel in the middle and the last heart will be the top. Stick the top of the scored heart to the base, and the top of your card to the bottom half of the mechanism. Select your photo and cut this out using the same size patch die. Snip away the outside detail leaving the inner heart. Line this up to the centre of the top of your easel. Decorate the frame with your choice of florals and add a smaller heart patch to the inside, raised on foam pads, to act as a stopper.
