A CARD WITH A VIEW (OR TWO)

 This is the latest card that I have made. Some time ago I used a pre-printed kit to make this effect, this time I wanted to start from scratch.  The end result has a different picture depending on which side of the card you view it from.

 To make my card I printed two photos just under A5 size - one was a picture of Broadstairs, Kent and the other was of Campbells Bay, Auckland.

I cut each picture into 1cm  wide strips being very careful to keep all the strips in order.

Then I stuck alternate pieces onto a sheet of A4 paper with double sided tape.

I photocopied the photo onto thin card.

Using a bone folder I scored the line between the different photos.


  

Making nice sharp folds I worked my way across ....

The beach at Broadstairs.

The beach at Campbells Bay.

With the photos scored, folded and stuck onto the card it was time to add some papers and embellishments to finish off the card.

A few paper flowers, card fish and some tiny seashells .... then a twist of ribbon.

CRAFTING AT THE WEEKEND

Had a lovely crafting weekend      
.......on our way home from shopping Saturday
 got a invite out for a friends birthday.
 So needed to make a card and present

The card I made using items from the DOCRAFTS goody bag I had just brought.

 And as a present I made her a telephone message pad using the set of vintage URBAN STAMPS.  I love this set although I am slightly confused by the inclusion of a VW split screen camper van in a range of British iconic images.  http://www.docrafts.com/product/5X7-URBAN-STAMPS--VINTAGE/p86361 
The telephone box is perfect for a message pad.  I found out by accident while making the message pad that if the ink from SUKURA pens is still wet when micro/accent beads are put onto it then the beads stick to the ink.  It looked really good I will use this again on future projects.

Had a lovely evening celebrating her birthday with friends.

 

 

Part of Sunday was spent making headbands to list on ETSY.  They were great fun to make - I did six all different.  http://www.etsy.com/listing/94485340/blossom-time-a-floral-headband  I like all of them, it would be hard to pick a favourite.  I really want to make some more.


What I really wanted to do was do some more of the book I am altering but "work" if I can get away as decribing the headbands as that came first.  I will try and find time to carry on with the book in the week.
