It seems I got on a roll one night while watching a DVD and just started putting pinwheels together. Little did I realize as I was relaxing and pasting, that they were a bit harder to make into cards. That part wasn't so easy. But here are the 2 that came from the movie night.
I know it looks like I am just slow, but, I had to go make a roast, fry some potatoes and do some touch-up painting on a wooden Christmas yard art. Now back to my regularly scheduled play time! I ran out of sunlight so I had to resort to the scanner which doesn't show highly shiny stuff like the dots on the flower centers, they are actually silver.
I have seen this technique done so many times and think it looks so cool, so today I decided to try it. These are my first 2. The one with the flower almost ended up in the trash after I stuck something where it didn't belong and then tore it trying to remove it. Yikes! OWH is having a Virtual Cardmaking Party on Facebook today and these will be the first of my creations for the Heroes today.
I decided to use "Friends" patterned paper since not all cards go to family. Friends are so very important in our lives. Here is my rustic version. The snowflakes were scrubbed with a sand and a bronze colored ink, the ribbon double layered to look snowy and penstitching to help make it look rustic.
I know this one isn't Christmas-y. I am working on more holiday cards, but this one is for the Valentine's Day collection for OWH. I have to have all these LOVE ones in the mail by the end of December so they can get to the Heroes in time for them to use for Valentines. This could be used for a LOVE in general, which is nice.
