I know it has been over a month, okay 6 weeks, but us retired people have such a busy schedule that there isn't enough hours in a day. LOL I have been doing a few cards but haven't been posting. I finished one last night that I sooo love. First I must explain something. At Ronda's Weekend Retreat, there was a silent auction for several different items. One of the items I bidded on was a big SU box filled with swap cards, regular cards, 3-D objects, etc.. Well the card below was one of the swap cards that I removed the bottom layer and made it my own by using close to cocoa pastels on the Manhattan Flower (I don't have this embossing die yet) and then used the Frost White Shimmery paint. Boy did that ever bring out the outline color. I then added a bow to the ribbon (soft suede) and used ticket punch on corners. Then I layered onto soft suede CS and the onto card (Very Vanilla). I love this card so much and IRL the subtle look is so 3-D with the shimmery paint.
See what I mean? Below is the inside. Hope you like this.
Well, this will be short as Cold Case is on for nest 2 hrs. and it is also the last show of season so better go for now. Will try and upload another card and my 3-D object I am working on. See you soon.
About time!! You and Kathy finally decided to share all in the same weekend. I do love what you did with this card. I blew it up and you can see the difference.
ReplyDeleteNice card for a make over, though brown is not one of my fav colors it turned out pretty good. Love this embossing folder, do have it and have used it several ways and love it.
