This size card, 5" x 7", is fastly becoming my favourite size….I started off by cutting my die cuts, a swirl, a picture wheel, a bow…these were cut in cream cardstock and then inked with distress ink…the picture wheel was cut in half… I doodled the edges of the card and inked them then attached the halved pin wheel to the card a selection of orange blooms with bling was then added. I always attach the swirls last so that I know where I want to place them…I made the bow up and added a bit of bling to the centre…a hand cut banner with stamped happy birthday was added to the side..
I have been taking part in the Paperartsy challenges recently and whilst working on the new challenge I decided to visit some products/techniques from the past - mainly those learnt at the artsycraft classes that I attended a few years ago…. when I reached for my Ferro however I got a bit of a shock…everything was solid, so then I looked at my terra…solid….and the paints….cracked and solid… this is the state of my bin this evening…
I dread to think how much money is sitting there!!! how long should you expect product to last? I have a pot of texture paste which I bought second hand about 3 years ago and is still going strong…
