My last post was for Bronwyn's 60th Birthday using tropical colours. I had these colours on my desk and used them for a few other cards. I was inspired by Cindy Schuster in a tutorial she shared recently ( The Crafty Carrot Collective Aug 22) using the torn paper technique. It's perfect for many occasions and these are great for men and women.
It's easy and fun- and you get 2 cards from the one activity- bonus.
select 5 or 6 colours and cut cardstock to 4" x 2 1/2"
prepare two base pieces of plain thin Cardstock 4" x 3 1/4"
Tear the strips in half gently "lifting" the card to create the rough torn edge. Adhere the layers using strong adhesive like stampin' seal, layering each piece in around 1/2" increments. Use the largest circle die to cut your shape. You may need to run it through twice and finish the cut with paper snips as it will be tricky to cut through so many layers.
Then decorate as desired.
My second version I used the deckle frame dies and the seashells. So much fun
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
