Simple Handmade Card Design
Hello Everyone ~ I have a Simple Handmade Card Design idea for you today.
This week I decided to focus on Black & White with a pop of color cards. When I went to Convention this was my favorite swap to sign up for. I thought it would be fun to show you how you can use some simple colors and create a great card.
I have to admit this card did not turn out like I had envisioned it. I knew I wanted to use some black and white checked paper and decided to use red for my pop of color. Using the patterned paper meant the card was quick and easy. I was fine until I added my die cut!
I had cut out the die and when I set it on the page to see how it looked it was not popping like I wanted it to. I decided it needed something and here is where I may have gone wrong.
I created some shimmer spray using shimmer paint. I sprayed my die cut and it did not seem to make a difference. I decided to spray it again. I still did not like it so sprayed again. I continued like this until I had sprayed the die cut about 6 times.
I thought it might be a good idea to let it dry but it was so wet I had to use the heat tool. When it was finally dry I wasn’t happy so I thought I would try it on the card and see what it would look like.
The card needed something so I used an alcohol marker and colored some pearls to go with it. When all was said and done I am not sure about this card. LOL have you ever had days like that?
