Bon Voyage

This card is created with
Geckogalz ephemera from the TRAVEL ON sheet.
I started with a heavy sheet of
craft paper and cut it to 6 x 12, and scored it in the center, inked it with
Tim Holtz Brushed corduroy. Prepare all the layers and assemble at the
end My image is cut and secured to 3.5
x3.5 black square. Next layer is
Burgundy Tim Holtz shattered kraft core, embossed with Anna
Griffins folder Poppy, then cut to 4.5x4.5 and sand .
I used a powder blue scrap, cut
to 5x5, save additional scrap of same 5x 1/2, ink edges. From a blue printed paper (mine had a blue
and burgundy small scale print) cut ( 2 ) 1x12 strips and score at 1/4 intervals. Lay out piece of 5.5 double sided tape, bend strips on itself to form
accordion fringe, attach to back blue layer
on right side with additional double sided
tape, trim to fit.
·
From a burlap fabric (found mine
in the fall section of the craft store or even in the scrapbook section) cut a piece 2x6 and a smidge, ink. Apply double sided tape to top of card front
of card and lay fabric, trimming and pulling some string to get a shabby look,
bottom edge will be loose but that adds to the shabby look
·
Adhere all layers in order
·
I used the reserve scrap of blue
to fill the gap on left fold
·
Staple layers at top
·
Lastly, take scrap of burlap
about 6x 1/2 or more, knot, pull strand to look shabby and attach to bottom of
card with a hatpin. Trim edges
my
blog will have step by step pics .....card is really cute and goes quick!
