I wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary today (some folks say that most of my cards are out of the ordinary...LOL). I happened to be thinking of Peace at the time and decided to do a Yin Yang card. Yin Yang is the symbol of balance really. It can mean good/bad, love/hate, me and my sister....LOL
Anyway, I decided to use some of the papers to create a card around this idea.
I used a spellbinders die to cut out two die cuts. I then hand cut a wave to recreate the yin yang symbol (I think the next time. I may draw it on the back side first. This one was kind of wobbly.)
The background paper is actually gold glossy with a layer of gold mesh over it. I wanted some texture and didn't want to emboss. The gold glossy sometimes cracks and shows the white core.
The yin yang was also reflected in the border where I had one side with pearls and the other with crystals (fire and ice?).
You can get a better look at my card here from the side. I took the leftover pieces and cut off the edges. Then I layered these edges on top of the original so that I could get some dimension.
Close Up!
You can get a great view of how I cut and layered the edge.
I decided on a double bow for this card out of ivory satin.
I don't know why I added this little girl. The girl was cut using a tag die. I applied rock candy crackle over the top (I really like this stuff!).
I hope you liked my card. Stop by again for more inspiration!
