More Playtime Cards

Hi Everybody,

These two cards are completely different but both have used left over elements that are left on my worktop.

For this card I have cut the flowers from holographic card and added it to the to if a hand inked left over piece of card.

I rounded the corners off and added it to an embossed panel and card that have also been rounded. 

To the inside of the flower I have used blue water colour paint to bring it more to the fore front.

I dotted it with blue pearls and added the sentiment to the front with foam pads to raise it up.

The card to the left has a panel that has a stencilled background.

The sentient has been stamped to the top and the cupcake is cut from a really old Spellbinders die that I have had for years.

I coloured the die cuts with alcohol markers  and added them with foam tape at varying heights.

I lightly ran some yellow, before adding the candle, to give it a glow, and I think it would make a lovely children's card.

Playtime Cards

Hi Everybody,

Having made quite a few of my own background papers I had lots of pieces left over, and I couldn't throw them away.

So I decided to add them to extra panels and create some A6 cards  with them to re stock my charity box.

The card to the right has Washi Tape around the edges and the blue panel added to the centre.

The butterfly is cut from silver mirror and added to some parchment.

For this card  I added  two thin silver strips around the orange panel and placed the butterfly to the top.

I also added some silver dots to the front to blend it all in and the sentiment for both is from an older pack that I already have.

So  by using these pieces I have made two more cards and used up what would otherwise have gone in the trash can.

Double Twisted Easel Card

 Hi Everybody,

Today I am sharing how I made the Double Twisted variation of the easel card and the result is very pretty.

It is another card that can be adapted to suit any occasion or gender and dressed up as much or as little as you prefer

This card has another hand created inked panel but for the others I have used designer card from AnnaMarie Designs.
