Shaped cards

Good morning all, 

First of all welcome to a new Challenge over at the 

Fussy and Fancy Challenge blog 

And secondly Ola from Spain....

We are currently have a few days away playing in the sun with the little man...

Our new theme today is 

Different shape or folded cards 

And our hostess is my lovely friend 

Annie...

Now I don’t   normally make many shaped cards so this was a bit of a challenge for me 

But so much fun...

I had no idea where I was going 

I just started playing....

And this is what I ended up with...

I hope you like it 

If you would like to see what the other dt have created

To create mine I started with a new die that I had recently bought...

And just cut out a few shapes...

I think I will be using this again and again..

I then got two 6x6 card blanks 

And cut some corners off

Until I liked the shape, and glued them together . 

Then I cut some matts and layers 

And started to add some colour, 

So out came my distress Oxide inks 

I added some ink to my mat, spritzed with water and then dipped the card in, 

I added one colour at a time and dried with a heat tool , before adding the next colour 

And then some splats off ink , and more drying with the heat tool 

Look what a difference it makes to add some ink around the edges of the card .

On separate card I stamped the sentiment and some butterflies, added some colour and then cut them out. 

To add some interest in the card blank itself , I just randomly added some splat stamping 

I did this on both sides 

Then attached the toppers...

I was really pleased with how this base was looking

Then I added some of the die cut shapes....

Followed by the butterflies, 

And some liquid pearls....

This is the view of the back , 

The front , 

And finally when dry , I added some bakers twine , 

A totally unique and made up card shape...

And all done by eye....

( so don’t look to close ..!!!!) 

I hope you have a lovely weekend planned ...

I had better go...

More walks on the beach planned....

and more splashing in the pool 

And more cocktails...

Don’t worry Elliot only had a banana milk shake 

Take care all..

Much love and hugs 

Jo. xxx
