Hello my
blogger friends
I had a
message through facebook a few days ago from a lady who goes to the
Falconry Club to ask if I would do her a card for her mum for Mothers
Day...normally I complain about short notice orders – she needed it
for Tuesday night – but as I didn't have a great deal on I said I
would do it.
The info I
had was floral, bright, sparkly and bling!
I had just
the card in mind...
Now I cant
find – because I haven't looked – the designer – nor the name
of the kit – but I feel sure its a Sandie Burchell kit.
But never
mind – I'm quite sure it would be easy to find should anyone really
need the info!
So
materials for this card I used ….
Heat mat
to work on and protect your surface – I always use it...
8x8
scalloped card blank
The
printed main design sheet and insert sheet
Tim Holtz
shaded lilac ink pad & applicator tool
lots of
tiny AB pearls
An
assortment of different gems
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 …
After
folding the card blank and sharpening the edge I coloured all sides
of the card with the applicator tool and ink pad
The main
image was cut out and simply stuck to the card front with double
sided tape
The
pyramage pieces were cut out and built up using large sticky pads.
That was
the card made basically so it was down to the embellishing.
I started
by running the Sakura quickie glue pen all over the edges of the
“lace” then covered with glamour dust, the excess was tapped
away.
Using
lilac heart shaped gems and Cosmic Shimmer PVA they were attached to
the outer corners of the design.
Next the
clear AB gems were secured to the corners of the outer edge of the
“lace”
On to the
inner corners of the “lace” and I used clear normal gems.
Finally
the biggest job was to add a tiny AB pearl to the printed hole in the
lace – it was so fiddly I regretted it when I was only half way
down one side – but stuck with it – literally – and it was well
worth it.
The inside
left of the card had a small version of the design stuck to it and
finally the insert was added
I added a
sentimental verse prior to printing out – this panel was stuck
centrally on the inside right of the card
I had
another message from the same lady to ask would I make a 2nd
card – this was on Monday evening – I wont give anything away
just yet as it will be the next card I share!!!
Hope you
liked the card – I am sure the lady who ordered it was pleased with
it!
Wonder if
I have my 20,000th view yet!!!
Catch you
again tomorrow – same place folks
