A black and white card, the image is from printable heaven a download from computer, layered up, cuttlebug embossing folder, string, sentiment, then made using a easel style card.
All finished, all I need to do now is give them to Nicola, hope she likes them as much as I do ,next stage the day/evening invites but not till june next year
We first stamped the image with a Versmark ink, then sprinkled white embossing powder and heated it up. We then used distressed inks over the image to make a background. Matted and layered two pieces of matching card, added ribbon and sentiment.
I made this a few weeks ago in our Thursday night class. Men's cards are always harder to make, but this one works well. We used a A4 piece of card folded in half, matted and layered with matching colours, used Cuttlebug (best buy ever) embossing folder attached with brads, cut three ovals from nestables one smaller than the other two. I cut the main image into three pieces (I used a 12x12 paper and also matted it first onto the card) then attached it to one of the ovals, attatch the other a little lower to see part of it. Add a sentiment.
Nearly there, I have made loads and loads of butterflys over the last few weeks, Just need to put them onto the cards. Will try to do this over the weekend. At the moment I am printing out the inserts (50) of them.
Stage one of Nicola's invites. These's are the start of Save the Dates. Made in Ivory Linen(4x4ins) with deep purple strips of card as I couldn't find the right shade of purple ribbon
