Hi! Sometime ago I won a spot in the Online Card Classes: Clean & Simple One Layer Cards 3. Unfortunately, I was not able to do much more than drool over the awesome techniques demonstrated due to some previous commitments. Now that I am fairly free, I decided to try my hand at some of them. I ended up making a card for somebody who has just passed her board exams with fantastic marks.
I combined the Faux Letterpress technique demonstrated by Shari Carroll with the die cut inlay technique.
Supplies used are white watercolour paper, quilling strips, glycerine and white pigment ink from Itsy Bitsy. I created the circles stamp by die cutting craft foam and attaching to an acrylic block with thin tissue tape.
The sentiment was created digitally and printed out on some translucent white paper. I rounded the corners and mounted the panel on some double sided tape to complete the card.
After I finished making the envelope, I decided to use up the white circles that were left over as extra decoration.
Overall, I am quite happy with this card, though my stamping needs lot more practice!
Entering this card in the following challenges:
House of Cards:
May Challenge #2
I was inspired by the colours
CAS(E) this Sketch:
Sketch #77
Absolutely loved the sketch.
Less is More:
Week 173
I used die cuts for both stamping and inlaying
Time Out Challenges:
Challenge #6
I was inspired by the striped rug and the colours of the pillows.
Love,
Nan
