Stopped by Michael’s today for magnet tape. I am getting ready to send some boxes off to the military posts I supply with magnets and matted artwork.
While I was wandering the aisles, I came across an endcap full of beautiful new border punches by EK Success.
There were quite a few that I intend to purchase as coupons allow… it lines up great and has a locking feature that keeps the punch flat and easy to store.
I punched the bottom of the coral card and then a strip of aqua and punched it also. Lined them up and glued the aqua down. Punched 2 more aqua strips and placed them opposing each other about half way up the card leaving room in between for a strip of ribbon. Punched a coral flower and a circle around that, then a larger aqua scalloped circle. I inked the scallop edges for dimension and adhered over a loop of ribbon with foam squares to the card. I had some clear reinforcement circles (found in bargains at Staples for $.25!) which I inked around and then peeled off to fill in the top. And there you go!
And now… back to the never ending horrible taxes. Maybe it won’t be as bad if I take them out on the front porch?
Looks great, Eileen!
I love these colors together. So summery! Gorgeous!
Next time I stop in Michaels I’ll take a look at these punches! I went WAY overboard last time I went to Michaels and purchased a bunch of the Martha Stewart punches…some on sale, some not. I love your card, Eileen….very nice. But you gotta tell me about your new blog HEADER! Did you design this…the flowers, leaves, background color and FONT? Tell all! I love it!
Kim,
Yes- I did it in Illustrator! You HAVE to get it although I think with your photography, PS is more useful for you. But this CS3 is so cool. I created all of those things and believe me, it is not hard if I can do it. The font is just Century Gothic but you can squish it, stretch it- all kinds of cool stuff. We need to get together again! Except I don’t have it on a laptop. And after doing taxes it’s gonna be a while till I’m buying anything 🙁
hello,
I just walk to your blog and I saw the wonders!
what talent! I’ll come back often because I love what you do and I’ll inspire
thank you so much for this sharing
