Well here is my first project that I am posting. I whipped this up really fast and didn't even use my cutter....shocker! I ALWAYS use my electronic cutter. I figured I would give it a try to make a card the old fashion way :) I made this card for a friend who's birthday is coming up. She always wears black and white and if she does wear a color is seems to always be pink. I look at this card and it screams Kristy lol.
(Ok to be honest I am not the BEST at taking pictures either but this one is a little worse than most :) )
I was wearing a red shirt so some of the silver paper or highlights looks red....ooops.
Here is a close up of the flowers and I love making these. I used glittery shear fabric and patterned paper with a gem brad in the middle.
Flower Info.
For the black and white one I used 2 size flower punches and inked the edges in between some of the layers I added the fabric I didn't use any adhesive just the Zots glue dots.
For the pink small flower I used sparkly fabric again and just a 1/2 strip of paper. I scored the paper every 1/4 of an inch and accordion folded it. I then straightened out the paper and glued just a sliver of the edge to the side of the fabric I cut to about 1 inch. I then re-accordion folded the strip and curved it into a circle and put a Zot in the middle of that to keep it in place.
Here is a close up of the flowers.
*Just a note...your paper trimmer will cut through A LOT of the thin fabrics so you can get a more accurate cut.
Here is a list of the challenges I bravely entered
