Hi everyone! Today I want to share with you a card I made with some of the new 7 Gypsies items! I wanted to do a theme card. Its almost summer and time to think about traveling. So, I imagined a trip aboard a steamship…
I wanted to use some half-rosettes in my card. I chose three papers from Gypsy Market (Isn’t that a great name?). The papers are full of rusts and muted colors which ties in perfectly with a mysterious cruise…
I cut a little more than half of a rosette using the regular sized Tim Holtz die. I added some 7 Gypsies paper tape to each of the die cuts before I folded my rosettes. I was able to create a two-layered effect. After I folded them, I glued them with hot glue and added a 7 Gypsies brad to each. I cut off the fastener parts on the back and used a pop dot to attach each brad.
I really like the black and white striped paper so I made a banner (Tim Holtz) using it. The letters are from the Tim Holtz Typeset alphabet. I mounted the banner to the card with mounting tape.
I had a lot of fun choosing some pretty tags for my card. 7 Gypsies has quite a few. I found one with a steamship and another that looks like it could be from a ship schedule. I decorated with a gear (its got bling in the middle!). (Gotta have some steampunk!)
Thanks for stopping by!
