Hello and Thanks for looking! Today I am sharing the GAL-entine's Day cards I made for friends. This card is inspired by the mfg sample ideas. But i took it to another level! I made this a FILE FOLDER card (you can't see that in this photo) using a Alterations File Tab die cut on the BASE card stock. I added a VERTICAL file tab printed from my P Touch for the file folder description, filled the inside of the file folder with hearts, flowers, a strip of the fun S U turq sequin trim held in three places with sticky dots... this allowed the trim to move like mermaid scales. The sentiment is inside the card "you are such a gem", came with the stamp set.
I scored and sanded, rounded 2 corners of the bg page, then die cut the circle detail die
then Stamped, colored, scallop die cut and glued in the Edna insert piece
Used White gel pen to doodle the white bubbles coming up to the surface.
Stickles on the CROWN of the mermaid
THE COOLEST part for me, was to PAINT brush the Bisque Liquid Pearls onto the large PEARL she is leaning on. I had never painted with liquid pearls before and it was a very satisfying process. Squirted it on Ranger craft sheet and took small paint brush to apply it thinly to the card. I LOVE IT and will keep using Liquid Pearls this way!
TLC912 is paint scraping and I used Liquid Pearls to scrape
CAS509 is Image of a Pearl, or liquid pearls and I did both
CAS729 is Valentine - NON traditional use of colors
my friends have received these FILE FOLDER cards, just filled with tid bits of flowers/hearts/sequins and LOVED THEM!
thanks for looking and hope you enjoyed it.
