-Use an image that has something on it that starts with a "L"
-If you make a card for a female, add something masculine to the card and if you make a card for a male, add something feminine to the card.
-Add a buckle to your creation
-Tear an edge of paper
-Try layering two papers and cutting a border edge on each sheet but on opposite sides
-Repeat any shape at least 3 times
-Outline a diecut shape with crystals
-Use the spotlight technique
I have used SU Apricot Appeal for the base card. The border is SU Lavender Lace and Black Leather Craft card. I have used two different fancy edged scissors for each side of the border. Finished this with a lovely white greeting sticker. I have used Ruth's wonderful Orchid image on white card which I have run through cuttlebug using the Victoria folder. I layered this on black leather craft card. I have coloured the orchid with my water colour pencils and aqua pen.
Thanks for visiting....I am off to do some gardening, I think.
Merry this card is lovely!! I have never tried the spotlight thing either ... your looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteAlso like the fancy edges on the right!
I don't even know what the spotlight thing is, but I'm sure you've done really well with it because the card looks great! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Merry
ReplyDeleteI think you did the spotlight element beautifully, it's one I like using as it gives the card an extra focus of interest.
