My cards are made, so I am writing this almost a month early, because next month I will be visiting family in UK. I go next Friday (29th March), for five weeks. Although I will have wifi access most places I go, I am so used to posting on my PC and my fat fingers are not nimble enough to write a good post on my phone. So I will schedule this for 25th April, and then I will just have to link it up on the day.
I have spent quite a bit of time lately, looking at cards on the internet and taking inspiration from them. A lady on my Silhouette Cameo group, recently posted a cutting file to make this three diamond edge card. But when I took a proper look I decided I could do it just as easily with my large paper cutter so that is what I did.
For the first one I used a snippet of paper I found in my box. I thought it was from an old Joanna Sheen CD and eventually I found it so I was able to enlarge one motif a little for the central topper, and cut two for the side diamonds. I cut a cream base card. It was a bit of a fiddle to make sure I had the three diamonds correctly positioned. I used gold peel-offs on the diamonds and gold glitter glue around the topper star.
I found a lot of suitable paper offcuts so I had another go, this time using a stamped image for the topper, coloured with copic markers. I used an ivory base card, two toning DPs, and added red perfect pearls to the stamped berries, and red gems on the diamonds.
