Here for your enjoyment is another paisley card from the unstructured class I took a while back-read about it here. And also read my self constructed class rules here. Feel free to add your own if you are so inclined.
Now this card has a cool wave, don't ya think? If only I had used one of those hot new pink curvy rulers that I have seen in the stores. I finally broke down and bought a generic one in the art department because I was not spending mucho bucks on the same thing only because it's pink-I don't like pink. My grey one works the same. And my waves look better than free hand ever did. But this card was before the ruler.
As you see, I stamped with several stamp images from the set listed previously and used the same inks on white after cutting my wave. Those blue dots-pencil eraser ends dipped in ink. I cut my wave and then lined up another piece of textured Tsumugi paper behind it and just nudged it up a bit to show as a lip over the white and cut the wave for it. This wave was layered on more Tsumugi-just the paper was going a different direction for the base card.
The paisley square was a larger flat square plain image stamp that was covered with ink and then the word and the paisley stamps were kissed off to leave bare spots where I stamped. I then applied the inked image to the white. This white piece was trimmed, added to a green scrap and pop dotted to my card. I will have a couple more to show you later this week using this same paper, stamps and inks.

Ok that is totally cool! I don't have a bendy ruler either...I keep forgetting to get one when I am out! Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteWow that's a beautiful card. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI just had to post a comment Jan. This card is gorgeous. It's has a timeless feel to it, and I just LOVE the colors. I cannot for the life of me get a nice freehand wave like this. I might have to get a ruler!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great card, love it, love your blog - so glad I found it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog. Unfortunately we don't have Target in the UK which is a shame cos it sounds like they have the most amazing bargains!
ReplyDeleteLove the card you made, the paisley looks amazing, as does the wave you created.
