Double Vision

For my Visible Image DT post this week, I’m having a go at a double vision card – a card style I’ve seen all over the socials lately.  As it’s impossible to make identical backgrounds, I used the Tomorrow’s Memories paper pad for my backgrounds.  If you don’t have identical papers, you can make a cheat’s version by cutting just one panel into strips and glueing onto a black background. 

A stamping platform is essential for this as the panels need to be identical.  After trimming the paper sheets down to 5½” square, I stamped and clear heat-embossed the branch and lady from Carefree Days.

For the next stage, to ensure the stencil was in the same place on both panels, I drew around the panel and the stencil on my grid paper.  I blended Versafine Onyx Black ink through the Leafy stencil around the edges of the panels, added gold embossing powder and heat-set.

One of the panels was glued to a square of black card ⅛” larger than the panel.  I glued the other panel to an identical sized piece of black card to give it more stability then trimmed it into ½” strips.

Alternate strips were mounted onto the panel using black foam tape.  At this stage, I realised if I had made 3 panels, I could have made 2 cards.

After mounting the double vision panel onto a white square card blank, I stamped and clear heat-embossed the sentiment onto an off-cut of the paper pad, backed it with black card and glued onto the card.
