For those of you that didn't see yesterdays blog post you may notice that my blog has had a slight change from Bits to place and a new URL. This is thanks to Facebook not liking the original name that this blog has always had! But all is good as it's only a small change but one that means I can now share my blog again! It will still be me sharing my artwork with you and maybe one or two other bits too!
Today I thought I would share a piece I did for Tina's show in January.
Ingredients.
Nested Square GRO-PA-40037-03
Nested Hearts GRO-PA-40094-03
Tina's Floral Petites Tall flowers GRO-FL-41143-01
Floral Spacer GRO-FL-41161-20
Straight Border grid No.1 GRO-GG-40350-14
Basic Piercing grid diagonal GRO-GG-40383-14
Tina's 3D Flowers and Butterflies GRO-FL-40553-15
Semi square perforating tool
Brighton
Rock designer paper
1. On plain parchment emboss the 2nd and 4th largest hearts then
make a border around the hearts using the 1st, 3rd and 4th largest
squares. Add the flowers into the heart.
Use the floral spacer to fill the widest part of the square frame and add the
pattern off the border grid in the narrow part.
2. Emboss dots in the heart
frame and white work to the flowers as shown. Add colour using Perga colours on
the reverse.
3. Emboss and perforate the
grid pattern.
4. Semi perforate around the
design with the semi square tool. Emboss zigzags within the perforations then
reperforate. Cut waste from this edge and also in the grid pattern.
5. Attach to a piece of designer paper with
brads and mount on a card blank.
6. Using spare pieces of
parchment make a flower and leaves and attach to the front adding a flat backed pearl to the centre.
I hope you stay safe, warm and dry today. It isn't very pleasant outside so I won't be going far today
Happy crafting
Thank you for sharing how you made this pretty card, once you know how to place the hearts & squares it gives smaller spaces to fill in with various designs so achievable by anyone as the areas you have snipped could be exchanged for a pattern for someone just starting out. I think some of the new people to Groovi think that something like this is not achievable by them but that is not the case if they take it steady & break it down into bite size pieces x
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Jane. Love how you mix and match from different plates to create your design.
