Dutch Dare Challenge #209 - Shaped Cards
Well, I'm back...
I still have my brace on for another week and many weeks of rehab in front of me. I am trying to use my left hand as much as I can. The more I use it the quicker I will regain my mobility. You just have to tolerate the pain and use a sticky tool to pick up small objects, since my fingers still don't grasp well. With that in mind I wanted to join the design team this week at the Dutch Dare Challenge. The challenge to make a shaped card - basically something other than a rectangle. Our sponsor this week is Sassy Studios Designs. The image I selected was "Madam Honey". Hope you can join us this week!
For this card I took a piece of white card stock - folded it in half. I positioned my largest circle die just slightly above the fold to create a round card. Using the same die I cut out a piece of pattered paper (DCWV The Once Upon Time) and attached it to the front of the card face. I then took a piece of SU Wild Wasbi paper, ran it though my big shot with my largest Nestabilities "Beaded Circle" die. I punched out several small circles using SU Brushed Gold card stock and added them to the beaded part of the die cut. I attached this to the back of the white card. I finished by adding my image that was colored with my copics. The sentiment was computer generated and die cut using my Die-namic Fishtail Flags. I used a gold gel pen and Stickles to accent the image and Glossy Accents on her crystal ball. If this made absolutely no sense I have a pic to show what I'm talking about. It's a little blurry since I took it it one handed.
At this point I will try to post as much as I can. This card was whole day project with some help from my husband. So until next time....
Beautiful card Linda, fabulous colouring of the image I like the shape and the backing paper.
