Hello
again
This
card was made after seeing a selection of cards in a magazine that
had been made using one stamp yet all cards were totally different
Of
course I just HAD to have the stamp set and when I found it was a
Kanban set my hopes faded mainly due to the fact Kanban closed down
and their stamps in particular are getting harder to get hold of
So
I rang the craft shop that were featured in the magazine and left a
message for a call back
A
very chatty guy rang me the following morning and after I told him
what I wanted he went off to look and did find me a set which he said
he would pop in the post to me the next day – and once I received
it to send the money off to him – isnt it lovely that some
companies value a customer so much they can trust them to send off
money
So
the company I am promoting here is www.barjanbcrafts.co.uk
Please
pop along and have a look, they have lots of fab stock and free
postage too!!!
On
to the card then...I used a sheet of dark brown card which I folded
and created the A5 card blank.
I
had printed off a few different brown backing sheets using a new cd I
had bought Dreamees Back to Basics (well worth buying for the
stunning papers)
So
I used a dark brown striped paper and completely covered the whole
card front then cut a piece of a lighter brown striped paper and
stuck this going across to break up the stripes a bit.
I
stamped the bunch of flower heads with black ink onto a piece of
kraft card then when the ink had completely dried I trimmed the panel
down and distressed the edges with a Tim Holtz distress tool.
Before
matting the kraft card panel onto dark brown card I used Tim Holtz
distress ink pad Pumice Stone to ink on all the edges, this gave an
old look to it
After
the kraft panel was stick to the brown mat I stuck them to the main
card using large sticky pads, I stuck the panel in the centre of the
card which worked well as the panel of light brown paper was higher
up the card
I
used a Best Wishes stamp and black ink again to stamp onto a scrap of
Kraft card then this was matted onto the brown and fixed in place
with sticky pads across the top right hand corner of the stamped
panel
Next
I went onto to tie a bow using wide dark brown crushed silk ribbon,
the tails were trimmed into a V to look more presentable
And
to finish I simply pushed in place 3 decorative pins – the white
pearl pin in the centre of the 3 has a gold coloured cut to hold the
pearl but I cannot decide if I like it or not so took 2 very similar
photos with just the pearl pin looking different – comments invited
please!
And
that's it – card finished!
Another
for the to use or sell box I think
See
you again tomorrow

Classic looking card, lovely, Angie. xx
