Hi guys!
Here's my reminder card for the current TIME OUT Challenges: Embossing with the optional twist of sparkle. I've made my card using the BEAUTIFUL Origami set by Altenew. This was the first time I dared to use these stamps -until this I've just been staring at them and admiring the DT inspiration at Altenew! :)
This card was given to congratulate our new godson for his name, the Christening was last Sunday. I heat embossed the elephant several times to two different designer papers with white powder and cut the images in pieces. I've paper pieced the image using different thickness of 3d foam stickers and paper layers for extra dimension -this doesn't show too well in the photo but looks quite fancy IRL! The mother of the baby thought it was real origami so I think I achieved in faking it! I've also heat embossed the sentiment on vellum (Happiness and Joy in Finnish) and added Wink of Stella glitter pen to the elephant for sparkle. After taking the photo I noticed that the bow in my string was all over the place... And it ended up looking a lot nicer when I gave the card. :) Hope you like... And see you at TIME OUT Challenges!
I'd like to enter:
Uniko Challenge: Sketch and Anything Goes
Fusion: Photo and Sketch
I think my card is sort of a fusion of both so I hope it qualifies! From the photo I took the white, "lacy" bg, sparkle and bow and the layout is very close to the sketch too!
Hieno edelleen! Saiskohan tätä leimasettiä joskus lainata..?
