Another glitzy 21st card...

This one is an acetate card and was not easy to take a photo of!!!

The silver section was made using the 'Birthday' Cuttlebug folder. The tag is matted on to a fluffy pink feather. The space at the bottom is left for the recipient's name.

Glitzy 21st card

Not a challenge card this time - a friend has asked me for a 21st card for her niece's birthday. I'm trying to get a selection done for next week so that she has a choice. This is my first. The dress template is one I drew years ago, but I haven't used it for ages and decided to bring it out again. Notice the round corners - bliss - I have wanted a corner punch for ages and last week finally ordered one from Sharon Duncan at http://www.sharonduncan.co.uk/. Brilliant service and the punch is just wow - everything in the house is at risk of having its corners rounded.

The space at the bottom of the card is for a name - I like to personalise special event cards.

Black and White

I love black and white - silhouettes - black and white papers -black and white pencil drawings I love them all. So naturally I really wanted to take part in the challenge on http://artygirlzchallengeblog.blogspot.com/. The challenge was to make a card, do a scrapbooking layout, Altered Art or anything else that took your fancy as long as it was in Black and White.

Well I decided to get out my shrink plastic and use my wonderful carnival mask stamp to work on the black and white theme. I really wanted to use the two masks on one card but the two plastics shrunk at a different rate and the black mask ended up quite a bit smaller. Hmmm worth remembering!!!

After shrinking and flattening the plastic I quickly (yes I did burn my fingers) wrapped it round a small bottle to get the curved effect. There is a lot of silicone glue holding those masks on -but they do seem to be holding firm.
