The last couple of weeks I’ve felt like experimenting with
new techniques and card shapes. Once in awhile I need to break out of the habit
making cards in the same format. This is one of them.
WISH! Right now I wish I was in some place warm but that is
not happening. This card is another birthday card. I took a piece of white
cardstock and made some swirly lines in Peeled Paint Distress Ink much like the
man’s birthday card I posted last week…but a little lighter in colour. Then I
went over it with Mustard Yellow Distress Ink making some areas lighter than others. Then
I took some small stamps and stamped them in brown all over the cardstock using
Stampin’ Up Chocolate brown. They were then sliced apart into ¾” x 3 ¾”
rectangles. Then, keeping them in the same order, I glued them to a brown
background. A dark brown ribbon was glued across the centre and this was glued
to a cream card base. The flower was stamped on white cardstock using the same
chocolate brown, cut out and attached with dimensional glue dots. I’ve found
out the dimensional glue dots and even glue runners dry out and things fall off
after a time. The Frugal Crafter uses hot glue to avoid this and I may start
using my hot glue gun as well. She has lots of hints on her blog and YouTube
channel, especially her Ask a Crafter ones. I found the little brown tag with a
heart in the stash and I die cut the white one with a Cuttlebug tag die, inked
the edges and stamped the word ‘wish’. These were tied together with brown embroidery floss
to a folded strip of left over brown paper and then all of them were glued down with a glue dot. Fun project.
That’s all from the frozen north!
Cheers
