Hello crafters! Today, I was just going through a box of bits and pieces that I had already stamped, or pieces where I had generally been trying out products I had purchased, and decided that I really should try and use some of them up. So, this was made with one of those pieces. Pictures first, explanation follows.
First, I took the pre-stamped panel and adhered it to a piece of black card-stock slightly larger for a frame all round. Then, I had to decide what to do with it on a card. I decided to adhere a strip of drywall tape - you know, the stuff that they put on the seams of plaster - down the centre of a white card base for some texture.
Then, I mounted the focal piece with foam for dimension, and finished by white heat embossing a sentiment on a strip of black card-stock and cutting two flag ends and also foam mounted that to the card.
Finally, I added a few sparkling sequins and that was it done! I hope you have had or are having a great day!
Thank you so much for your visit and especially if you have left a comment. You are all appreciated more than you know!

I haven't used my drywall tape in such a looooong time! You've inspired me to get it out and play with it. It adds such nice texture. Your card is so pretty. Love the soft background colors.

ReplyDeleteAlways great when you can use a panel from your stash. Such a pretty spring scene. Especially love that sweet butterfly. The dry wall tape is genius! It adds so much texture and interest. Great idea Hazel!! xx
ReplyDeleteSo glad you used the panel Hazel. So pretty and CAS perfection. Love the added bling on the butterfly and clever idea to pop on the dry wall for texture x
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy looking at what you make with panels from your box! This one is beautiful, too, and the dry wall tape a great touch! Some day I am going to follow in your footsteps and use some of my bits and pieces instead of always adding to them!
