Hi
there
I
just love everything about this card – and thinking about it almost
all of the cd too
This
is taken from the new cd from Joanna Sheen called Shirley Barber
who's artwork is truly stunning
To
make the card was quite quick and easy, because it was just the
topper, backing sheet and bookmark it was ideal for letting
imagination run wild.
So
I used a brown sheet of card and created my A5 card blank. I adore
this feather effect paper so trimmed it so I kept the patterned right
edge and then I punched the left side of the sheet.
Before
sticking the sheet to the card I used a piece of beige ribbon that
was stitched at both sides – I stuck the ribbon inside the
patterned border of the backing paper then stuck the ends down with
some strong sticky tape.
The
panel was then stuck to the card and ready to work with.
I
cut out the topper and nipped the corners with a corner punch, then
matted onto brown card and again nipped the corners
I
stuck the topper so it didnt cover the punched border but did sit on
the ribbon border.
A
small topper was cut out and matted onto brown card, then I stuck
this at the bottom of the ribbon border, I lifted the main topper and
managed to stick the small topper corner under it.
The
downside of these sheets in my opinion was the lack of sentiments so
I used one from a sheet I printed from the last La Pashe cd rom..
The
sentiment was a Happy Birthday and after trimming down I matted it
onto brown card and stuck under the topper.
After
cutting out the book mark I stuck one piece onto brown card then
stuck the other piece on the reverse, it needed a little trimming to
get both sides the same.
Because
there was space on the reverse of the bookmark to write or even print
on before sending to the printer I simply stamped a lovely verse.
I
haven't decorated the card as yet – I could add flowersoft to the
flowers and either glitter or glossy accents to the water...for now I
am as happy with it as it is!
So
what do you think to the Shirley Barber cd and artwork now?
Another
card for this bulging box or to use or to sell cards
Till
tomorrow then

Really nice, masculine card, Angie. xx
