Long ago, I was a painter. I loved to create faux finish techniques. Hence, why I love all that is messy in card making. When this video featured the Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder AND Galvanized Metallic Paper, I knew I had to get my hands on these products and mess about. The video features the Country Lane Suite:
Here is my Christmas Tin Tile Twist:
As I am writing this blog we are having some crazy weather here today!! Winds gusting at 100km/h and snow!!!
Wow!!! What better reason to create some cards.
Today I am featuring the very vintage March subscription box. The kit creates 8 cards, and so far I have created 12 by alternating a few of the items. I still have a few bits left, so we will see where that leads me. Be sure to check out the video below to get inspired to create:
I love that the envelopes are the perfect size for adding a flower seed packet. I think this would be a great Mother’s Day to gift to my friends. Especially the ones that I know love gardening.
Card #1 was created by sponging over the flowers with Flirty Flamingo, Powder Pink and Pear Pizzazz inks and a sponge dauber. I also coloured the wood flower element.
Card #2 was created by trimming down the front portion of the envelope. Here I used a Powder Pink card stock base, cut the included pink mat on a diagonal and added the luscious ribbon. (Afterthought, the brads could be used to adhere the ribbon too!)
Card #3 is a variation on the original envelope. I cut apart the coloured flowers so that I could bump them up, added some sponged Early Espresso ink to the edges.
Card #4 A tech glitch caused me to loose the first part of this clip. To create the flap, I used the leftover envelope piece from card #2 to add a strip to the back. This gave me something to anchor the flap. I used the floral stamp ( afterthought the leaves stamp would work too!) to create an allover stamped image. I adhered the strips and floral sprays included in the kit and sponged the wood element. What I love about this card is when the flap is closed or opened the card is beautiful!
