Hello friends - I hope you have had a lovely Easter and not overloaded on the chocolate that flows so freely at this time. I am always grateful for a new day and Easter brings it home to me so clearly with the message of the Cross. Today is Tuesday and the Public Holidays have come to an end - I am hoping to spend the rest of the day in The Studio with deadlines looming very close.
My card today has been created using up those leftovers from cards or kits - it gives me great satisfaction to see them come to life in another card. The 'image' has been cut from embossed card using a Spellbinders Embossing Folder and coloured using Imagine inks and sponge daubers - I do love this technique when using Embossing Folders - it adds such a lovely new dimension.
This has been layered into the smaller frame from the Spellbinders Romantic Roses etched Dies. The patterned paper has been cut into squares and layered onto recycled cardboard, cut to size using a Matting Die. Each of the squares has been paper pierced by hand. This has all been adhered to a pre-cut card base using Adhesive Sheets 4 x6 prior to cutting.
For the card base, cut/emboss
using the A2 Matting Basics B, making sure to place
the fold inside the cutting edge to form card base. Pop embossed layers onto the card base using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L: 3D Foam Squares and finish by adding some of the fabulous Want2Scrap White Pearls.
