Yesterday I announced that I had made a few projects for my stint as blog of the month for papercraft inspirations magazine. Well today's project is the second I made and photo'd to, hopefully, be featured. ( as it came out yesterday hopefully and I don't move back to the UK for a couple of weeks I have to wait for a copy!)
I simply love the Elegant Ovals as I am sure you can tell by the number of times I have used it recently! The mixture of the soft blue and white is, to me anyway, a stunning combination. I cut each of the panels separately and simply mound them onto a large card I made with 2 oval apertures cut out from the centres.
Once mounted I threaded a strip of ribbon over and under the different layers allowing me to float the centre pieces in the apertures.
The background in the inside of the card is a piece of white card letterpressed using a blue distress ink (sorry its a lovely piece and is hardly visible in this card)
Ingredients:
Spellbinders Elegant Ovals
Spellbinders Classic Ovals Small
White & Blue PMD cardstock
Crafters Companion Sentimentals stamp
Ribbon & Pearls from stash
Wendy's Hatpins
I gave this card to a really good friend in my theatre group as a thank you card after the last production I am happy to say she loved it (whew)
Enjoy...
So creative and beautiful. xxx

First I want to say a huge ma-hooosive thank you for the bag It arrived yesterday It's very sweet of you to let me have it. I will send you a photo when I've re-created it! Today's card is absolutely glorious and thank you for the recipe because I had messaged asking for the size of ovals that work alongside the Elelgant Ovals and they never got back to me I'm gonna have a word with that Sue Wilson and say that she needs to get you on the payroll & help demo on C&C (obviously only if you want to do something like that - you may have plans already)
ReplyDeleteThanx for this Karen I have to admit this is what I would love to do! Lol

Hi John. What a stunner! This is beautiful, I love the colours and the patterned paper looks pretty from what I can see : ) Take care.
ReplyDeleteHola John
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card. Have been straining to see the inside, as it looks fab. Went to 3 local supermarkets yesterday and not a mag to be had. Have the nation got John fever? Or have I been places that dont bloomin sell it? Will have to try Hobby craft at the weekend now.
Have a great day.

Another stunner, John.

Hi John,
ReplyDeleteFit for framing! Absolutely gorgeous card.
Inspiring me to re-vamp some old, black Victorian oval photo frames picturing my grandparents in their youth, and my parents' wedding photograph.
