April fools day, has always been a curiosity to me..I like a good HARMLESS prank that doesn't hurt peoples feelings. Like jumping out and scaring people...(I don't like it done to me but it sure is fun to scare people. I know I am a bit of an enigma but hey--who isn't?!) I get a little irritated when they are lies...I DO NOT like lying...Once I tried to play a prank on my mom--it was not nice..I got about 3 sentences into it (I was talking to her over the phone) and I just couldn't do it...I felt bad...Anyway, I wanted to share with you a card I made for my blog post a few weeks back on the American Crafts blog it was featuring the DIY line. guess I'm pretty original with card greetings? ;)
There were a lot of supplies that went in to this fun card, embossing powder, brayer, mist, sequins, veneer, wash tape, punches, banners, sewing and paper--with that all being said can you pick them out? (like the where is waldo game!)
For this card, I REALLY wanted to use the polka dot brayer to give a subtle background. I stamped with clear pigment ink, then embossed it with clear embossing powder to make the kraft banner shine! One other fun touch was that I covered the veneer butterflies with the gold patterned washi tape. After I ripped the washi tape into small pieces I placed the washi over the butterflies, making sure it was adhered well. After adhering I flipped it over and cut with a craft knife around the edges.
Thanks bunches for the visit today--hope your April fool's day is full of FUN!
