Today is the last day of the Sparkle N Sprinkle 3 day blog hop. I hope you have gotten inspired and seen some new ideas.
For today's card I used 2 stamps from Dani's Garden, set 393, Dani Reading and the sentiment "Thanks". I used a border punch to make the mint green piece down the center. Next I used a corner adorner punch to make the circular yellow piece. After I punched this out it looked like a fancy sign, so, I used a die to cut out a bracket to use as a sign holder. I cut it out of dark brown cardstock. Next, I used white ink, in a direct to paper technique, to tone down the dark brown paper.I adhered the bracket over the mint green cardstock and used twine in the holes and tied it to the "fancy sign". I stamped Dani Reading, using Black StazOn and colored her with markers and cut the image out. Next I positioned her in the middle of the circular "sign". I stamped the sentiment "Thanks" then cut an oval shape using a Spellbinders die. I colored the words with various soft colors and then mounted it under the yellow "sign". To add a finishing touch I used a glue pen and traced the swirl portion of the yellow sign and added Lemonade Glitter to the sign.

ReplyDeleteWow, what a great card! I LOVE the sign idea. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteLove the composition and really appreciate all the cutting you did to creat depth. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI thought the center was made with a medallion die cut. You made it with a corner punch, cool. I like the sign idea. Nice card.
ReplyDeleteInteresting idea to use the stamp as if it were a sign.

Cool card! Loved the corner punch being used to make a round medallion. That's a new one for me to try. Thanks for sharing!

Making the medallion into a sign is such a cute idea! I bet the glitter on the edges of the sign is even prettier in real life!
ReplyDeleteI loved the use of the punches. It really brought out the card.
