Today I CASEd the card shared by Julie Ebersole in Online Card Classes Summer Card Camp 2.
Like Julie, I used a combination of patterned papers from the Studio Calico Sundrifter Collection. I added a bit of twine to the sentiment strip and dry embossed a natural-flecked cardstock for some texture. I found working with the combination of patterned papers to be a bit of a challenge. I followed Julie’s suggestion to take a photo of the elements you have chosen on the card before adhering them.
Unfortunately, the yellow-green feather paper isn’t showing up well in the photo. The paper has more “oomph” in real life.
I love that you added texture to your background…it really makes the bird and patterned papers pop! Another gorgeous card, Jean…WOW!
I like the nice texture folder that you chose for this project. The card looks great.
Love your bird! His background paper is perfect. One question: what’s the secret to handling that twine around such a small piece? I tried that today & gave up!
Hi Sharon, I use my tweezers http://www.ellenhutson.com/servlet/the-2215/EK-Sucess,-Tweezer-Bee,/Detail to hold the twine after I’ve tied the first part of the knot/bow. This is a trick of Julie’s that I learned either from her blog or a class of hers that I took. Thanks for your lovely comments.
Love the take on Julie’s card! Nice job!
My eye is always drawn to your cards, Jean. Another great card! Love the embossed background on your take of Julie’s card!
