Another two cards, one coloured in and one with no colouring and all die cuts.
The first card i have used a Stamping Bella stamp that I bought last year and didnt get enough use out of so a bit of colouring to catch up on. also did some paper piecing but thats for another day.
These young ladies look so elegant and of course thats me on the left in my favourite green dress 'whoop' and the shoes I do all my housework in!!!!
Coloured with copics and the red dress and green dress look much better than they are showing up here but you will just have to trust me with that. Anyhooo after colouring I used the wonky stitched die to cut out the panel.
Then decided to add this wonderful sparkly green glitter paper to the front of the card first, then the girls then finished it off with a silver mirror cardstock 'celebrate' die cut. Another of the cards that went to the 'Caring Hearts Card Drive' .
Now we have a card with a tag, a shaker tag, die cuts, vellum. Talk about an easy and pretty looking card, I was really pleased with this.
The card base I added a layer of vellum the same size as the cardbase so its front and back and has wonderful silver dots on it so it looks lovely and elegant. I have die cut the stitched tag in white card stock and another layer in acetate.
After cutting the Merry & Bright word square in silver mirror cardstock I then cut the same size out of the tag with a square die so I could make it into a shaker tag.
I attached the acetate layer behind the white card, the silver mirror Merry & Bright to the front then added to layers of dimensional foam in a square around the outer edge of the square cut out, added all clear, silver and a couple of gold star sequins then sealed off with a piece of white card. Looking at it now thinking next time I might use another layer of acetate so you can see the dotty vellum behind the tag but I'm still happy with this. It looks elegant and makes another nice card for the 'Caring Hearts Card Drive'.
