The month has flown by since by last blog post. I'm back again this month with another sketch and three cards made using the sketch. I have called the post 'three cards with a view' as each of my three cards have an aperture in the front of the card so you are looking at the view inside the card..
This is my sketch for March...
I decorated the inside of the card with the petal sections that pop out from the diecut flowers. Once dry I trimmed off any pieces that when over the edge of the card.
For the front of the card I coloured a variety of Kraft Flowers using ink pads (dye-based) and a blending tool.
I layered the pink flowers on top of each other to form the large bloom. I cut the petal off the yellow flower and I used the remaining circle for the centre of the flower. The green flowers I cut out into sections and used then as leaves. Once dry I attached the flower to the front of the tunnel card.
I drew small black dots around the aperture with a fineliner. To finish the card I added black Candi and circle sentiment.
For my second card I used an Elegant Edge 148x148 card blank. I cut a square aperture in the front of the card using a Spellbinder die. I used blue spot and green gingham papers from the new Flower Fusion Paper Pack for the front frame and inside of the card.
Inside the card I added a square of blue spot paper. Onto this I stamped the green stems using a stamp from Craftwork Cards Candi Stamps - Build a Bloom. I added two Kraft Flowers and yellow Candi inside the card.
The butterfly was made from coloured Kraft Flower petals. I used a long petal for the body and large and small oval petals for the wings.
I used wet glue to stick the butterfly together. Once dry I added to the front of the card. I added faux stitching to the front and inside of the card. To finish I added black Candi and sentiment.
For my third card I again used papers from the the new Flower Fusion Paper Pack. I used the Birds 'n' Trees Template to create the trees, bird and birdhouse shapes.
I used a kraft embossed card blank from Craftwork Cards. I cut out a rectangle from the front of the card so you could see the tree view inside. Again I finished the card with black Candi and sentiment.
I hope you like my card and I have given you some crafty inspiration to create your own 'card with a view'.
