I am working on special occasion cards for my family. It is good to be back to making cards after the holidays.
I started with a light yellow card. I trimmed the flourished teal background (gift wrap) to fit with an even border all the way around and then punched three flowers from the left hand side. I flipped over the punchies and fit them back into the openings and secured them with regular tape on the back. I added black punchie centers and added a few details using a sharpie marker. I found this laser printed flower in my image stash. This is one of my own images which I doodle while watching a doodling tutorial on YouTube. I scanned my doodles to create my own digital images for cardmaking! Pretty cool!! I coloured the flower to coordinate with the background and sponged around the edges with blue ink. I created a layered greeting using a oval greeting punchie and a pink scalloped oval punchie which I punched from the background paper which will be under the flower image. Coordinates perfectly!! After adhering my background to the front of my card I added a length of pink paper twine on the right hand side. I mounted my watercoloured flower image over the twine and opening using 3D foam tape and then added the layered greeting in the same way. Finished!! Therese
