Meadow Clover

Hello and Welcome.

This is today's card inspired by a piece of inky Yupo paper I made awhile ago.

So onto my card.

This piece has been in my stash for awhile.  I like to do a bunch and put them away for future use.

I began with a piece of Yupo that I applied some Alcohol inks with Blending Solution to help move the inks around.  I love watching the magic of the inks move.  I did rub on some blue foil that stuck to the wet areas of the inks that added a bit of a shine.  I cut the larger piece into a small panel and adhered it to a piece of white cardstock for stability.  

Next, I die-cut the clovers with more white cardstock and glued them to the front of the inked panel.

Love how the white just pops against the inky bkg.

I took a piece of matching blue cardstock and ran it through my Cuttlebug in a plaid embossing folder to add some texture to the main panel.  

Lastly, I pop dot mounted the AI piece over the embossed bkg then onto a plain white card base.

Thanks so much for coming by and taking a look.

Washi Notecard

Welcome.

Here is a simple notecard I made using washi tape I have sitting in a drawer.

I need to try and use more of the things I have...I know what you are saying...'yay, right!'

I began with a piece of heavy, white cardstock and put stripes of washi tape on the diagonal.  I left space between the rows so I could add some scored perforations using my ScorBug on my ScorPal.  It gave nice texture and more interest to my card front.
For those of you that have never used washi before, it is so easy to lift and move around it you don't get it straight the first time without ripping your paper.

Next, I die-cut the flowers in black and white and glued them over the tape. 
I chose to mount the piece onto blue cardstock just to give it some colour.

It's nice to have some little notecards on hand.

Thanks so much for taking time to visit.
