Hi all
Well, I was asked to do a card for my Greek friend whose husbands Name Day is on Thursday. Manly with his name on is what she wanted!
I had never done a name day card before so that was good to get a new kind of request!
After getting the tip from Top Tip Tuesday about using chipboard pieces that you get in packs, in colours you never use, and re-covering them, I decided to that with the star and the tag. I put a few layers of embossing powder on them and quite like how they turned out. With the star, after I did 3 layers of black, I then dipped it in silver. I had never done that before so quite like how it turned out.
The white cord is something that I have had in my drawers for years...I remember getting it from Ikea but never knowing what to do with it. I also used another tip left on Top Tip Tuesday, about putting card on the back of paper if you wrap stuff around it so that it doesn't tear - what a fab tip!!
Recipe: Papermania tag and star, cord from Ikea, DCWV Black & White pad, buttons from Satwa
I would also like to enter this card into the following challenges:
The Crafty Pad #104 - Something New - new buttons & new techniques
Fresh Brewed Designs #30 - Black, White & 1 Other Colour - I've gone for Silver
Dutch Dare #95 - All Stitched Up - Mine is faux stitching around the card and on the buttons
Thanks for stopping by!
