Hello my
blogger friends
Today was
the 1st craft day of the year for our community building
and we can certainly say it was huge success
I get so
uptight in t he week running up to the day – checking and double
checking everything – and all for nothing – the day was a super
one – it all ran to plan – and the ladies all loved their free
goodie bags and all the projects!!
Now for
the card – I used the wonderful new double cd set from Crafters
Companion – Crisalis Collection...the 1st cd is Paintbox
Poppets – this is based around young children and so very cute, it
was all the additional artwork that wouldn't fit onto the last cds
and the 2nd cd is the Crisalis classics – these are
older children/young adults.
The cds
are the kind you can use over and again for almost all occasions –
and when you see one of the faces it immediately makes you think of
someone you know.
As soon as I saw this particular image I knew I had to make it up – it was just crying out for soft fluffy feathers – well in my opinion it was!!!

So
materials for this card I used ….
Heat mat
to work on and protect your surface – I always use it...
8x8
scalloped card
Printed
sheet
An 8x8
piece of contrasting backing paper
A piece of
black and silver patterned mirri card
Memory Box
decorative circle design – don't know what its called
white
fluffy feathers
foiled
sentiment.
Versamark
ink pad and deep pink mica powder
Sticky
pads
Eazi Score
Board & tool
Tonic 8”
guillotine
Scissors
Tweezers
Shaping
tool from www.dimensionstamps.com
Foam
shaping mat – stamping mat or even a mouse mat
To
make the card …
The 8x8
card was folded and the crease sharpened with a bone folder.
I then
dabbed the versamark ink pad randomly around the edges of the card
and then picked up mica powder on a soft brush and rubbed it into the
sticky area. Once I was happy I had the colour as I wanted it I
sprayed with the cheapest hair spray to seal the colour and stop the
powder brushing off when touched.
The
backing paper was trimmed to fit – I used the top of the scallops
as my guide line – it worked out lovely this way.
The main
image was cut off the sheet and I laid it on top of lots of different
colour and textured card before settling for the pretty black
starburst card.
The image
was stuck to the top part leaving the border around the sides and the
top – I left a big empty space under the design – I kept the
space empty as it worked so well.
The
decoupage was now cut out and added to the main design using small
sticky pads.
I am going
through a bit if a rosette phase just now so folded and used a black
rosette that had a velvet touch brad in the centre, I mounted this
directly to a die cut from a Memory Box die – I don't know what the
die was called but its like a lovely doily
Two big
white fluffy feathers were stuck under the rosette and it was all
placed in the top right hand corner of the card using a large sticky
pad.
Last
addition was a deep pink foiled sentiment panel that reads – May
All Your Wishes Come True!
Glamour
dust was added to the tutu hair decorations and posy
I am sure
you are sat there thinking how lovely the card and artwork are...they
are both even better in my hand I can tell you!
Another
card in the “for use or for sale” box

again tomorrow – same place folks
Oh and I think we just need another 70 views to hit that magical number!!!
