Hi again everyone
Well- we didn't get to go on our balloon ride again today as it was too windy again! I think it's going to be a long time before we actually find a day that's suitable at this rate. So - I decided to do a bit of crafting instead.
This card was made from an SGV file and cut with SCAL on my Cricut. I
bought the file from Sue Playing with Paper's webpage. The file cuts a card with a latticed front and leaves a square mat in the centre. It's alovely file and I think I'm going to use it a lot - I have already thought of several different ways I can use this particular card front.
For this particular card I backed the latticed front with a piece of blue and white shaded vellum that I have had in my stash for a long time. I then made a flower using the same method that I used in my tutorial further down this blog, although this one is a bit bigger than the little ones I made before and it's very three dimensional.
I edged the petals with pale blue stickles to give them a frosted appearance and to pick up the blue of the backing paper and I also edged the sentiment with the same colour.
My computer seems to be on a go slow today and it has taken me ages to upload this card so, although it hasn't reproduced as well as I would have liked in the picture, I think I'm going to leave it as it is and hope you can use your imagination a bit. lol
This is also the first time I have used the new Watermark that I bought from Whimsy stamps to go with the signature below that came with it.
Hope you like my efforts of today and that you have all had a lovely Bank Holiday Monday.
