Thursday card class

This week we had a great time with three different cards.

The first is for all you cat lovers out there!!

A close up of the trim:

I was not sure what to do with that trim when I bought it, It has beads, sequins and a lot of threads or hairy things on it, so I was reminded of cats playing with things that dangle.  The card is that result!!

Live Love, Laugh,

Thursday Card Class

We had a great time making cards today!!

I really enjoy the company and have fun making cards together!!

cards402

This is the faux stained glass technique,  you stamp on vellum with black ink then turn the paper over and color it in with markers.  We attached the vellum to white card stock with brads, (most tape or adhesives show through). The flowers were all different and all looked beautiful.

I think my glass needs to be cleaned on my scanner, there really is not a black smudge on the card!!

Hope you enjoyed the daffodils!!

Thanks for stopping by.
