Had a superb day on Saturday making cards with my friends Helen, Sandie, Janet, Marisa and Sandie's friend, Jackie. We missed Lei who was laid up at home with a broken foot. We got a lots of cards done. I made 5 on the day
Here is a closer look at my two ornament cards
Both use the same technique. Using PearlEx powder mixed with some water to make a paint. I die cut a Poppy Stamps die with some silver foil card. For the first one I used some glue to stick down the die and then some blue PearlEx paint to colour in the ornaments. I then used a Hero Arts sentiment which I silver embossed. I used some Peelcraft stickers for the strings. I sprayed the card with hairspray to set the PearlEx. My second card used some red PearlEx to make the paint. I finished it with a sentiment sticker. I also stuck the silver card to some Jak paper before die cutting it, which made it much easier to stick down. Wish I had thought of that for the first one!
Thanks for stopping by today.
