I need a few cards for family birthdays that are coming up, so I started on those today!!
This one features a cool embossed paper frame which I trimmed to fit on a light blue card front. I trimmed out the center squares using an exacto knife and a metal ruler on a cutting board. I trimmed the light house laser printed image (CLKER) to just fit inside the opening with an even border all the way around and then watercoloured it. Once I positioned the image in the opening I felt that it would benefit from being framed in a darker colour so I added a piece of darker blue cardstock to the back of the frame. I added a little ribbon flag to the back of my image using double sided tape and glued it into the opening. I adhered this element to my card front. I watercoloured this little fussy cut laser printed greeting (CLKER) to coordinate with my card and adhered it to my card front using 3D foam tape.
I am really enjoying being back in my studio!! I have been busy with garden clean up and preserving produce for the last month or so and that is finally coming to an end. I do enjoy gardening and its harvest though it does sometimes lead to full days of preserving when the bounty is ready to be put into the freezer or jars.
