Hello! Whilst I was away last week these 2 cards I created
went live on the Studio 75 blog HERE.
This one is for a woman & uses the "Miss Olivia" Collection ,
together with a gold doily & some Microbeads and die cut chipboard small clock .
I used my off-cut pieces for These cards, cutting the pieces to size to fit the
square then inking up all the edges with bronze ink for a shabby finish.
Under the tag I used some gauze for a soft look and through
the hole in the tag I used a piece of old bandage :)
For the aged, patina effect on the chipboard I used nail-varnish!
It always gives a nice glossy effect. So there you have one quick
& Easy card - I hope you will try something similar for yourself!
Find the chipboard clock faces in the store HERE .
Next I tried a masculine card, using the Mr & Mrs Black Collection .
Next I tried a masculine card, using the Mr & Mrs Black Collection .
Again I used my off-cut pieces but tore them for a more rugged look.
I splattered some black & white inks on top of my papers for a more artsy look,
before adding a loose circle of craft wire. Under my tag again I used some gauze .
For some textural interest I added some red sparkly tulle we layers.
Nothing says "Celebrate" like a touch of glitter!
I achieved this effect simply collage your off-cut pieces together, inking
the edges before adhering. Next add your textiles & wire circles before
placing your tag & sentiment, using foam tape for a bit of dimension.
Lastly add your splatters then finish off with your flair!
I hope you enjoyed my 2 simple collage cards today !!

Beautiful cards, Helen. The first one is my favorite.
Very pretty and two very different looks. That is a great masculine card...I struggle with those.
Nice way to use up odd bits of oaoer...love the touch of gold in the top one....& of course, YAY! To nail polish:):) love that craft wire on the man card, too:):)
Love them both, the paper on the first one is so charming, love the tag with slightly lighter color. The masculine was awesome too.
