I wish I had more time to spend on paper crafts, I really do love creating cards, collages, etc. although my efforts are simple compared to those whose primary hobby it is. Here is what I made today. One of these will be sent to a Down To Earth forum member as part of an arranged swap this month.
The cat below is a scrap of patchwork fabric inserted into a precut card. I got distracted during this project, and glued the fabric on the wrong side of the card, so I decided to cut the back off and sticky tape it on the other side to correct the layout. I couldn't leave it with a sticky taped edge! so I glued the yellow paper over the edge to cover up my mistake...
This is a plain white card with check scrap booking paper glued on to the front. The flower cart is a cut out from a decoupage book of cut outs that I found at the opshop.
Teapot is made up of two fabrics which I adhered visoflex to, cut out the shapes, and ironed them on to the card. The lacy bit under the teapot was a mistake; I used sticky paper lace because it was quick and easy, instead of cutting a small piece of real lace which would have looked much nicer. Cie la vie..
Oops!, I think I just commented without identifying myself barb here!
