Custom baby card featuring lace, lacy punched border, ribbon and fabric flower embellishment
I received a request from a friend for a couple special cards for events that are coming up in her life. This is for a friend of hers who has just become a grandmother of a baby girl. I started with a pink card base and added a pieced background. I punched a rectangle of pink cardstock with the eyelet border punch (SU), added a piece of lace and a length of ivory ribbon over it and adhering them to the back of the strip using double sided tape. I added a tiny brad to hold my tag. I used a off white stamp pad to colour a white brad so it would coordinate. I adhered this piece over where the papers join. I added a beautiful lacy fabric flower embellishment over the ribbon. I colour printed the words, die cut the tag, embossed it with floral border (SU) and then sponged on a bit of off white ink to just tone down the white a bit. I tied on a piece of ivory crochet thread which I slipped under the brad to secure it to the card. To keep the tag in place I used two small pieces of 3D foam tape. Therese
All Occasion cards featuring laser printed images on transparencies over layered hand decorated backgrounds with eyelets
When I was prepping card kits for my January Cardmaking class I printed a few extra images on transparencies!! I always get over ambitious and printed more than I need. So this past week I took the time to put together the backgrounds from my stash of hand decorated papers and make up these cards. I coloured most of the images a bit on the back with markers to highlight the image and provide good contrast against the backgrounds. The Briar Rose - source unknown. The fern is from Trish Bayley - no longer online. The ship - no credit available. The Floral heart's source is no longer on line. I really love how bright and beautiful these cards are and that is credit to the beautiful background papers. I used eyelets to secure the transparencies to the layered background papers before I mounted the backgrounds to my card fronts. Therese
