Something Saturday - Louvre Windows Card

Image
 Hi there Creators Today I thought I'd show you how to create this Louvre Windows card (little bit of trivia, did you know Louvres were invented back in the middle ages around 1500 years ago?, they were made of wood and put on pitched roofs to let out smoke, and increase circulation)😃 Anyway moving on.... I saw these kind of cards at the Picture to Page show, and of course the company selling them had dies to cut out all the components, but I figured I could make it work my own way. And so Voila: I made this card up before the video using the Celebratory Sips Designer paper (see all the links below) and here it is opened up (little difficult to photograph!) So this is the bit that's obscured above! Then in the video this is the card I made up, this time using the Beautiful Gallery Designer Paper (again links below) and the middle..... as you can see I used a bit more of the designer paper to cut out and add to the middle sections and again the obscured bit Links for products R...

Global Design Project (GDP081)


Hi Everyone,
I keep meaning to join in the Global Design Project, and by the time I know it, the week has gone... again!
So this time I'm hoping to get in on the act with this card, I've created it for friends we know who've just had a baby boy, bet you can't guess his name - lol!
The brief is a colour combo this time, Night of Navy,  White and a free colour


Here we are my creation! those who know me will know I'm not a traditional light blue and light pink baby card person, so this palette suited me well for this card
 Not sure it shows up terribly well, but I've used Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer paper to create the name, then sponged/daubed the Night of Navy to 1/2 way up (I love this graduated colour look), I've used some of the beautiful Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper in the background.
Then the little teddy out of the Bookcase Builder Stamp set, and also the saying from Baby Bear Stamp set.  The extra colour I've used is the Silver Foil line across the middle of the card I think it gives just the right amount of zing to the card😊
I hope they like it, and it makes it into a baby album at some point!  What do you think? have you ever tried sponging the Dazzling Diamonds glimmer paper?

I hope it inspires you to have a go!
God Bless love
