As always it starts with measurements. My card has 5-3/4" strips embossed and placed 1/4" below the 5 1/2" top fold card and evenly placed 1/2" from edge to edge. A 2.75" white square embossed with Swiss dots is placed over a rectangle, embellished with butterflies added and then a blue and white bow, topped with the sentiment-"Thank You" It's the quality of the paper that makes this card extraordinary. The butterflies are printed on photo paper, edges inked in black and stickles added for some sparkle.
My
next card is for Easter. I want to create a collection of Easter Cards
to feature in a Craft Show scheduled on March 31st at a local school.
The Optimists Club is sponsoring this craft fair at Daniel Boone's
Middle School in Douglasville, PA
This is the first of many cards I plan on creating for the show. I love this little image of a chick hatching. I used watercolor pencils to color the harlequin embossed water color paper with the soft colors of Easter. I added the delightful ribbon embellishments I won from Barbara's World of Whimcees. So stop back soon to view the continuing collection I plan on creating for this craft show. It will be my first public showing. Wish me well.
So do stop back soon...
