I pulled some sheets of paper out of my file - did I tell you that I had sorted most of my papers into an expending file by colour. I managed to find not only backgrounds but some focals as well so am I pleased that I spent time filing .... yes I am!!!
A beautiful brocade style paper formed the background for this card and I fussy cut a birdcage from a separate piece of paper. After I had attached the birdcage I realised that there was something missing! I searched through my sentiment box and elected to use 'Fly like a bird' - even though the bird is in the cage!! I swiped a turquoise ink pad along the edgs of the card to give it a finish.
The square from which this dress was cut had a label - Fashion but I decided to fussy cut the dress and use it standing alone. The background paper was spotted so would match the dress. I wiped the edges with a turquoise ink pad and attached it to the centre of the card. I found some vellum sentiments, fancy cut this one, sliced it into pieces and attached to the edges. I swiped the edges of the card with a dark turquoise ink pad.
I used an embossed piece of paper for this background, the beach hut needed to be where the action was!!
I fancy cut one edge of a border and attached it along the lower edge of the card. Beach huts need sunshine to use them at their best so a sun was placed in the top right corner. Vellum sentiment just fitted along the side edge of this card and when swiped with an ink pad was finished.
