There is a new challenge on the blog being hosted by the Creative Card Crew and their very 1st challenge is the theme of green. I made a card last week which fitted this challenge but decided to challenge myself and make yet another card this week so out came a punch and my card fell easily together by being finished with a decoupage I made up yonks ago.
The punch is from Ling Trading Art No 8005, and now you can see more uses for those punches you already have, no need for the fancy circular ones which I myself have never mastered. I punched onto double sided coloured paper and with the aid of my decoupage scissors simply snipped two parts of the flower and folded back.
This is the card I made for an old friend who celebrated her 85th birthday last week and is from the kizzy dizzy range. I matted the images onto pale green pearlescent card and decoupaged the front with an image from a cupcakes cd and added greem gems round the frame.
Insert is decoupaged too.
Thank you for looking and any comments you care to leave. -x-
