Hi,
My crafting marathon continues. . :)
I love recycling.. I had in my stash, this saree packaging cardboard which had some dry embossing on it & most of all a brilliant yellow color...
I was saving it for so long to use in a proper way & what better way than to make a monochromatic card :)
When I saw the Challenge, I knew this was the time :)
I made the card for my travel loving friend, especially cycling :)
Here it is :)
I cut out 1/2" width panels from the packaging & stuck using glue at regular intervals. .. I dint bother measuring exactly. . I have used my white gel pen to add some highlights in the center, some dots around & faux stitches on the edges. .
The cycle is from "wood venner: transportation" (I luv luv luv them), inked with black soot DI, heat embossed with "Wow!" clear sparkle embossing powder.
stuck on the cardbase with liquid glue.
I drew & cut the flag banner from the same box.. sentiment is handwritten. . stuck with foam squares.
On the inside of the card, I also stamped another sentiment from the Penny Black eloquence stampset (am using it for the second time in a row & still can't get enough of it ;))
Done.
I have improved in making envelopes over time & I am really satisfied about how this one has turned out to be, almost perfect, considering it was not a standard size card :) Here's a peek on the tool which helps me the most for envelope making.. I took it from my cousin's geometry box.. He doesn't use it much anyway :P
My inspiration for this card is a digital design I made for my profile pic :P
I added the photo of this sentiment too, some light Fx & ended up making this digi poster :) (fully made with PicsArt app)
Hope you enjoyed this. Do lemme kno ur comments. They mean a lot to me. Thanks for your time :)
Create. Have fun.
