April 29, 2013 Card Making Class

Hello everyone,

Sorry I'm a little late in posting.  Busy as usual!  Below are the cards we made at our last class.  Didn't think I was going to be able to finish this post.  I was having problem loading the card pictures.  It turns I was too impatient to wait 5-10 minutes for each photo to load!  Anyway, glad it's working now.

The butterfly card was made using the Serviette (paper napkin) and Mod Podge technique.  First separate the image from the white part of the two napkins for two of the same butterfly image.  Using a sponge brush, apply an even coat of the Mod Podge all over the white card panel and the vellum panel (be sure to hold down the corners of the vellum as it tends to curl up).  Turn a dry iron on between wool and cotton level.  Place the wrong side of the napkin image onto the glue side of the white card panel and iron evenly for a few seconds.  This will be your background card.  Trim the napkin for the background card by following the edges of the white card panel.  Now, place the second napkin with only the butterfly image onto the vellum and iron.  Cut along the outline of the butterfly without the antenna.  Turn the vellum butterfly image over and dry emboss the lines of the butterfly to give texture.  Add foam tape on to the back of the vellum butterfly image and adhere onto the background card.  Punch two green strips using the EK Success daisy punch and glue along the top and bottom edges of the white card base.  Adhere the background card onto card base and brush some glitter glue onto the butterfly with your finger to finish the card.

This next music note card is made by stamping the music image using clear Versamark ink onto glossy card panel.  Roll the Spectrum ink onto the stamped glossy card panel in one direction and repeat until you achieved the color intensity you want.  Glue onto black card panel and trim following the shape leaving a  1/8" border.  Tie aqua sheer ribbon around card panel as shown and adhere onto aqua card base.  Stamp sentiment and punch out using scallop circle punch.  Adhere with foam tape onto card as shown.

The last peacock feather card was made by stamping the feather using Perfect Pearl Medium ink pad onto black card stock.  Using the thin brush, pick up a small dab of the gold Perfect Pearl powder and paint onto the center of the feather.  Next, clean brush and pick up a dab of green powder and paint around the center the gold color.  Finish off the remaining feather with blue powder as shown.  Round off corners of black card panel, adhere to white square panel and adhere onto turquoise card panel.  Tie gold ribbon around the bottom of the turquoise panel before adhering onto white card base.  Stamp sentiment and punch out using Stampin' Up punch.  Add a gold bling onto the center of the feather image and adhere sentiment onto to card using foam tape to finish off.

 Only three cards this time since there were three different techniques that took quite a bit of time to do.  Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day everyone!  See you on Monday.
