| The finished sentiment inside the card. |
I just discovered a new challenge blog called The Order of the Opus-Gluei. It's a challenge blog where there are new challenges every two weeks and they are open to interpretation. The best news is that they accept all art forms! I love these kinds of challenges. The current challenge at The Order of the Opus-Gluei is to create something with bikes or trikes. I used a stamped bike image to create a bicycle border on the top and bottom of a cardbase. I simply fussy cut around it once the stamped images had dried. This created a unique border and draws attention to the bicycles. Next I wrapped a piece of patterned paper with blue embroidery thread. Then I printed the sentiment onto a tag with my computer and inked around the outer edges of the tag before adhering it to the front on the card. Inside the card, I added "Enjoy the Ride".
Cardbase: Recollections, Stamp: Studio G, Ink: Studio G, Patterned Paper: Oriental Trading, Embroidery thread: DMC, Adhesive: Scotch ATG
This is so cool, what a creative card! I adore how you have done the bicycle border, it's so unusual. I'm glad you have discovered our challenge blog, it's a delight to see your card, and I hope we see you often. Thanks for joining is with us at Opus Gluei!!
ReplyDeleteVery neat! Like the embroidery thread.
ReplyDeleteI really like this card (love that stamp! Great minds think alike), and the fussy cutting makes such a cool border - it adds that extra oomph! Love the sentiment and I like that this card could be used for a man or woman quite effectively which is always nice because then you can have one on hand just in case!
