Hi! We had a lovely class again, with a new lady joining us (welcome Julie!), and it was great to catch up with everyone.
For my card this month I loved a card by my friend Fiona Bradley and decided to use that as inspiration. I offered it in two colour ways and I think they both look so pretty.
Using the stamparatus, I inked up the stamp with Versamark and then Soft Suede, and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. I then cut the flowers out with the co-ordinating dies. Then using our inks and an aqua painter, I coloured the image. For the blue card I used Misty Moonlight, Garden Green and Hello Honey. Rococco Rose, Old Olive and Daffodil Delight were used for the pink one.
I cut a 3/4" strip of Basic Black for the blue card and Early Espresso for the pink. I adhered it to a piece of Basic White and attached to the front of the card base using dimensionals. I then also used dimensionals to raise the flowers. For the sentiment I stamped on black or Early Espresso to match the strip and heat embossed in white and fussy cut. This also was raised with dimensionals. I added a few rhinestones too, cos you just have to have some bling!
Jeanette did two cards this month - the first is a peek a boo card - it has a bit of a surprise factor for the recipient when they open it!
Her next card was made using our laser cut paper - so pretty and such a simple way to make a quick card!
Come join us at class and learn new techniques, make some projects and enjoy the company of a great group of ladies. Get in touch if you are interested or want more information.
Thanks for visiting - and happy crafting!
