Myself and a few friends have decided to get together and form a craft group. We meet every week (when we can) and sit, chat and craft together.
The following card was made at the first meet. There were free range eggs (thanks Sue), coffee and a whole lotta crafting going on.
Basically the recipe was:
Purple cardstock for the main card,
Baby Blue cardstock for layering
Multicoloured striped paper from The Little Angels by SMIRK
Glossy Photo card (the kind you print photos on)
Purple Ribbon
Sizzix flower embossing folder
little pearl dots
Purple whispers Ink
Pearlescent Sky Blue Ink by Brilliance
Purple and Green metallic pens by Crayola
Fiskars Threading Water Punch
My what a lot of stuff!
The top layer was achieved by dabbing on the Sky Blue Ink and letting it dry, I then dabbed the Purple Whispers on top of it and slightly rubbed it with a tissue (basically a resist.) For some reason the sky blue really shone through the purple and created a super look.
I put it through the Cuttlebug with the Sizzix embossing folder after it had dried and thought it needed something extra to make the flower really stand out. I found my metallic markers and coloured away! You can still see the purple and blue ink under the purple metallic pen which made it really pretty.
As you can see, I punched all three cardstock pieces and then layered them onto the purple base. The ribbon is threaded through a small slit I made in the card with my craft knife.
I hope you like it as much as I do.
If you have any questions, fire away!
