CARD# HPJ-2015-03: A Little
Bird
Hi guys and gals! Here’s the
third card in the series. The challenge was to stamp on felt. The image is not
quite clear with just one layer of ink so I re-stamped it. It is not that dark
compared to the ones stamped on paper, but it is still visible.
I then stacked some die cuts to
hold the stamped image. I felt that it was missing something with just the main
embellishment. I figured another layer of cardstock and patterned paper would
balance it out. (I just love layers and dimensions!)
On the other hand, I already
adhered the matting on the inside of the card before deciding to round two
corners of the card. Thus, the uneven corners on the inside panel.
[sigh].
After adding the different
layers of paper, felt and lace, it still felt kind of odd. Something was still
lacking. I tried placing random embellishments like metal charms, buttons,
resin flowers, but to no avail. I just decided on affixing pearls and then
inking the edges. That was that. I ended it there.
I’m glad I finished the third
one. Even though it got delayed, I’m still within my target. Woohoo! Way to go!
Till the next one (coming right after this post)!
P.S. I will be giving this card to a college friend who I haven't seen for quite a long time now. I just posted a photo of it on her FB wall, but she has not commented. I don't think she saw it yet. Hmn. She might not be checking her FB as often as another person again. I hope she sees it soon. :(
