Hi everyone!
Hope your week has gone well.
For today's mini card collection, each card uses a different technique. Let's go!
First up - the Tunnel Card.
My card base is white cardstock. The challenge here was to line up my oval dies for each layer so that when they cut the centers, the centers would line up. I used a scalloped oval die to make the second layer cut.
I created some dimension by adding some gold swirlies in between the layers. The bottom layer is a beautiful, patterned vellum paper from Crafters Companion (Hummingbird collection).
My second card is a collage card. Collage is probably my favorite style. I used a number of items to create my design.
- The man comes from Tim Holtz paper Dolls
- All the pink comes from the 49 and Market Vintage Artistry Collection in Blush including the ephemera and the rub ons.
- The sentiment is also from Tim Holtz Chit Chat.
I'm not sure that you would call this a technique as much as a style. It's an overlay. The card base is made from white cardstock and matted with collage papers. I added a strip of crochet to add to the "age". The overlay of gold flowers comes from a single die.
The following three cards used the Iris Folding technique. I pulled out some different nesting die shapes and used the smaller ones to create the aperture. I chose plain cardstock colors (although you can used patterned paper for this). I chose thinner cardstock. Once all the pieces are folded and added, it can be quite thick.
I added the top mat and decorated.
I hope that you enjoyed these mini cards!
