Aqua Card number 8

 Brrrrr. It’s cold and rainy yet again today. Spring is taking its sweet time arriving this year. Joe keeps telling me that we will go from this weather right into above average hot and humid temperatures…no real casual flow into summer. He’s probably right but I’ll take hot and humid over cold any day.

 Today is Aqua card Number 8. I finally used up most of the paper and was left with strips! I had to use them all up.

                                               

So this is my take on the floating card technique. I took  a piece of transparent or likely plastic from a package and cut it 4 x 5.25 inches so it would fit on a standard A2 card with a border showing. Luckily I had the right colour blue card base to use. The strips were cut 4” long by about 1/2” and the edges were inked with aqua ink. Then they were glued onto the plastic leaving a space in between them. Then I flipped it over and dimensional strips were glued to the back of the plastic behind the strips and it was glued to the card base. A gold peel-off sentiment was added and a few gold flowers but it needed something else. So I die cut a floral spray out of gold and glued that on as well. Perfect. Cards made from left over pieces don’t have to look blah!

 That’s all for a cold and rainy Wednesday, May 3, 2023.

Cheers
