Birthday card featuring bright gift wrap, gold foiled cardstock and colourful sequins

 One of my grandson's is becoming a teenager!!!  How does that happen??  I started with a large green card front, added two pieces of this bright gift wrap which matched up very nicely in the middle.  I taped the joint in the back before adding it to my card.  I found the greeting in my stash, added some green washi tape, added four rows of paper piercing, layered it onto a red orange cardstock and then onto a gold foil one.  I added a line on all four sides with a fine tip black Sharpie and then added colourful sequins with glue dots. Some of his favorite colours and a great teen card!!!  Therese

All occasion card featuring decorative paper, washi tape, ribbon and colour printed goose

 I have been busy with travelling and garden.  I finally got to the cards I need for my family this week.  I colour printed this goose (CLKER) and worked the rest of my card around it.  I trimmed a piece from this leather look gift wrap and tore in two and adhered the two edges to my large brown card front.  I filled the gap with coordinating washi tape and then adhered the rest of the pieces down over it.  I watercoloured a bit of a background and foreground on the goose, added four rows of paper piercing with my pattern tracing wheel and the trimmed and embossed a layer of brown cardstock.  I added a large ribbon flag to the embossed layer with a staple and then added my goose.  I mounted this large piece to my card front over the gap using 3D foam tape.  Glad to be back to card making!!!
