Vintage Waistcoat Gents Card with Paper Piecing

Cut a landscape card base and layer it with patterned paper from the Love Letter collection.

Add a piece of white cardstock on top as your working surface.

Apply stencil work to the background using tea-coloured ink to add texture and depth.

Stamp the waistcoat design three times in white ink on cardstock.

Cut out each stamped waistcoat carefully, removing the V-neckline and back sections to create openings.

Layer patterned paper from the Love Letter collection behind each waistcoat cutout so the pattern shows through the openings.

Glue the first two waistcoats flat to the card base in different positions.

Apply small gems or sparkles to the buttons of the focal waistcoat to add masculine sparkle.

Raise the focal waistcoat with gems on foam pads in the centre of the card for dimension.

Stamp a gentleman figure from the same set at an angle on a separate layer and position it tucked underneath the focal waistcoat.

Add ink blending to the background if desired to enhance the overall design.
