The Challenge at Paper Cutz Challenge this week, that's what. "...challenge # 62, make a card, LO or craft project using red, black and white ONLY, and any theme you'd like." I tried to keep this one really basic. Inspirations came from Shirley's beautiful Art Deco cards here. I think I will give this card to my son so he can give it to his wife on their anniversary. The flourish is really two flourishes from Lyrical Letters that I welded together. The heart is part of the flourish design. I cut a second one in red, trimmed the heart out, then ran it through the Cuttlebug Swiss dots folder before adhering it to the black flourish.
The card measures 5" by 5" |
There are two layers applied to the card front, the black stripes and white that I pt through the Cuttlebug using French Script. I traced around the flourish and allowed about an half inch to border the design. That I cut by hand. |
I stamped the inside of the card. I had the stamp in my binder and I don't remember where it came from. |
The top right corner of the front is turned down. The white flower is attached with a brad before gluing the corner down. |
I wanted to mirror the flower on the front, but decided it would be to bulky to fold the corner down on the inside. |
I also entered this at OWH Stars and Stamps here and Cooking With the Cricut's first challenge here.
