I like making cards that have movement or texture so to start the day we made this, & I also created a hand-out (due to lots of measurements) as something for everyone to refer to...
It looks like this:
... and when you pull the ribbon... this is revealed:
Painted with Distress Inks it has a lovely fresh feel.
Card on right created using Dusty Teal & JOFY stamps to paint a bespoke background paper that co-ordinates with one of the JOFY mini 'mesh' stamps.. I love this card - lots of my favourite 'go-to' elements - tags, buttons, stamps, scallops, wood flowers and resin flowers.
This card combines new JOFY stencil with recent stamp releases...
...and every now and then its nice to have a bit of glamour on a card! and I think my little birdy deserves a golden cage:
.. the cage's golden effect is created with variagated gilding flakes (adhered with Stamp & Bond) - a very special cage :o)
A really fun day. I'm back at Birds in the Barn on June 1st - looking forward to it...

Oh all of these are just gorgeous Jo. I need more time in my life to sit and use your stamps !
ReplyDeleteStunning cards as usual Jo, the golden cage is fabulous. Sounds like a fun day:-) x

ReplyDeleteWish I could have done the class, saw the first card through the window - even better in real life!!!

What a lovely day we had - thank you Jo. Spent a small fortune afterwards! Looking forward to 1st June already.
ReplyDeletethese are fun projects, thanks for sharing your creative inspiration
ReplyDeleteAll wonderful cards!!! I used that same mini mesh stamp on a card this past week. http://artbywanda.blogspot.com/2014/03/hopes.html
ReplyDeleteFinally...made the birdcage card using gold embossing powder rather than gilding flakes - BiB didn't have Stamp and Bond - and it works although my cage isn't as 'lively' as yours. and my cages need to be better spaced but it did fit on a DL card - just!! Haven't done any crafting for ages. - weeks even - so it was quite a satisfying play (albeit with room for improvement!)
