Good Morning Everyone.
Yeah I'm back after 6 weeks without internet after a lightening strike, a long 6 weeks too.
So lets kick start with the card i made for my mum for Mothering Sunday, I went with daffodils as they are one of her fav flowers and made an acetate card blank for a change.
Card size approx 5x6", i first die cut my frame from white card and then worked out what size cardblank i wanted, so cut, scored and folded a piece of acetate to size. I attached the frame with 2mm foam tape.
I die cut the daffodils 3 times from white card and coloured with alcohol markers, the first one i kept whole, the second one i cut out the flower heads and the 3rd one i cut the flower centres, after colouring them i used glue gel & decoupaged them to build up dimension. Adding a little green glitter glue for the stamens and a little bling. Then attached them to the card front to look as if they are growing out of the frame.
After going through my vast patterned paper stash for my insert i decided on this lovely vibrant blue to give the feeling of a spring sky to set my daffodils off. It has a lovely subtle floral pattern.
Computer printed sentiment die cut into an oval to finish.
A close up of my daffs, its not often i colour in with alcohol markers but wanted a really bright cheerful colour.
Showing it side on for the dimension, i added the inner piece that cut out from my white frame to the inside to write my message on. To hide any glue from showing through my acetate I ensured it was hidden behind attachments, so putting the patterned paper inside hides the glue from the front and i added the glue for the insert behind my frame. Hope that makes sense, got to get back into this typing up mode😀
Items Used:
Daffodil die
Rectangle frame die
Stitched oval die
B&M 12x12 patterned paper 'truly refreshing'
Hunkydory acetate
Lime stickles glitter glue
Alcohol markers
CraftsUK Ltd smooth white card
