The theme for this challenge is 'use something new'
What a great theme for the start of the year; I'm sure we all have new craft supplies sitting on our desk from Christmas or even before waiting to be used. I had last month's Gina K Designs kit sitting on my desk which has been neglected due to me being ill so I thought it was high time to get it out and show it some love. I hope you like my card.
Here is my card:
A close up of the image (also shows the shimmer pen I used):
Plus I decorated the inside:
I began by stamping the images with memento ink onto white card and used the coordinating stencils to colour them in. I used the matching dies to cut them out. I cut a white panel 4" x 5 1/4" and using the thick brush stencil lightly stencilled in the lower left corner using a light grey ink. I stamped and die cut the sentiments and also cut an extra plain die cut so that I could double them up for some dimension. I added foam squares behind the flowers and arranged them in the lower left corner. I also added some extra leaves with liquid glue. The sentiments were also added with liquid glue as they were already 2 layers thick. I finished with a few black pearls and some shimmer pen on the flowers. I noticed I had slightly damaged the right corner of my panel so decided to cut it down ever so slightly and the finished panel size is 3 7/8" x 5 1/8". I added the panel onto my card base with foam tape. For the inside I cut another white panel 4" x 5 1/4' and stencilled along the very bottom with the thick brush stencil. I had some flowers and leaves left over so added them to the left corner with liquid glue. I stamped a sentiment in the upper centre with black ink and added the panel to my card base with double sided tape.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
