The creative juices must be flowing today~watching the Olympics and cranking out cards!
On Squiggly this week they have asked us to make a card using PAPER PIERCING, where you're actually making holes through your card. Of course, in order to win their challenge, you must use a SF image-they have so many to choose from and some veteran artists as well as some Very Interesting newcomers-check them out here when you get a chance! The Fan image that I'm using was part of a Valentine set called My Punny Valentine 4 by Lynn Stransbery with multiple images and sentiments!
A while back I learned a trick with PP that is an easy way to process designs~ you take the thread out of your sewing machine and, using a fairly large needle, create your design. This card that I made today was one of my favorites today-made with swapped papers from my stash, mounted on cream and loden green textured card stock, image colored with copics, I creased the front page so that it would bend and then, placing a matching paper underneath, I mounted 3 blue dome topped eyelets on the top. It just flips up for the inside notations.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving some Luv behind! Come back soon to visit please! Carolyn

ReplyDeleteOMG, I am so jelous! I actually said on my blog that I have never used a sewing machine on a card and every time I see anything that has been done with a sweing machine I always love it. Your card is no exception. You have been so creative and so clever in the way you have used your machine, I really wish I could do the same. You chose the perfect image for the wavy lines and I love how you have gone for the non-traditional fold too, it looks realy fresh and modern, a great card and so glad you decided to join us at Squigglefly this week, please come back again soon for another chance of winning and showing us your talent.
