Having just returned from holiday, I was pondering on what product to use for my Live, so for today’s video I was using dice to create a card.
The end project uses the Sweet Songbirds bundle as well as the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks to create a celebratory card.
The bundle consists of a photopolymer stamp and a coordinating punch. The masks allow you to build up multi layered backgrounds.
Using Dice to Create a Card
As I have done before, I rolled the 6 wooded dice that I have created to give my 6 elements to incorporate in my project.
The dice gave me:
- C6 (standard sized) card
- Stencil
- Punch
- Metallics
- Bright Colours
- New…. theme
The predominant Bright Colours that I chose were Poppy Parade and Daffodil Delight. using Blending Brushes, I blended these colours through the stencils to create the Tartan effect background.
The bird was stamped in Poppy Parade with Daffodil Delight beak and wings and the pieces punched out. The bird was perched on a stamped branch on a Stitched Rectangle along with the notes and sentiment.
The sentiment suggested there was something new to celebrate – perhaps a new job.
The metallic element was provided by the silver rings from the Sparkle and Shine Sequins Assortment.
Some Poppy Parade mats were added to the layers to give the card an extra pop.
I may not have known where this project was going to take me as I shook the dice, But I am pleased with the results.
